Doing it now. I would probably fist fight my wife before I let her go back to work, but I am a fairly high earner for my age and while tough would not be the right word, it damn sure isn't overly comfortable. There's no way we could swing it if I were closer to the median income for my area.

It’s now more expensive to have kids than ever. It’s hard to do on one salary. So then you got to look at day care which is $1000-$2500 a month depending where you are at.
Housing is as expensive as it’s ever been.
Wax all yall want about liberals and feminism but young people are just doing the math.
Not if you dont have to have the nicest house. Its so ridiculous ALL of you ignore this. You all ignore the house situation completely because you feel like you are owed that house and nice neighborhood. I hate to tell you this, you arent.
Everyones problem is they want the house they want in the area they want.
No one wants to live lower end housing to start off because they are scared or they are racist.

By far, the cheapest non-apartment housing options in any city (which are where the jobs are) are going to be in ghetto neighborhoods, and what quality, family-focused couple wants to raise children in that type of environment?

Both parents can work, but you should be able to comfortably support a family on one income as the norm in the USA.

cost of raising children
this, plus the fact that most couples/families can't afford to live on a single income anymore, meaning that the woman has to work, are by far the biggest factors
All of this.

Young people are also the loneliest they've ever been. Loss of community hurts. I think technology addiction plays a role

I lived in lower income neighborhood for 2-3 years after college.
Then we moved to a home we bought that was 20 years old lol.
Nowadays kids don’t do this.
And I’m not that old.

I do want their birthrate to decline if not outright become zero.
I am to the point where I am ready to vote to sterilize people in this country, dead serious.
Call them what you want. Undesirables, swine, liberals, freaks, trannies, but something has to be done.
y'all really are beyond help. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real and the call is coming from inside the house.Posted on 4/22/25 at 4:36 pm to Roberteaux

Not as advertised but as designed: create a lot more uneducated, desperate minimum wage workers coming from bad homes in 20 years.

How are we still having this discussion after countless threads of people posting statistics proving that posts like yours are wrong and not applicable to the post-2019 USA?
People like you reject statistics like anti-vaxxers…equally as “religious” in your incorrect beliefs as well.
And now this is a home price thread.
