We aren't going to have kids we can't support. Right now we absolutely cannot, and even in five years time things will still be looking relatively tight. We might be able by then to scrape together a down payment on a mortgage, or have a child, but not both.
The biological window gets smaller by the day. Why bother?

- SilasX 10y agoPersonally, I don't think that's wise. 20 years is a long time and the whole setup is getting more ridiculous by the day. I fully expect that it will collapse under its own weight before your kids have to make the decision. (Nothing necessarily explosive, just something like "alternate routes into white-collar well-paid entry-level work will be well-trod at that point, avoiding the need for expensive college or bidding it down.")
