Only have kids if you can afford it.
- scarface74 7y agoYeah that will work.... Guess what happens to the economy and especially the pay as you go social security/Medicare programs when the retired/worker ratio increases? Are people not suppose to have children just in case their children get sick or they have a difficult pregnancy and they may have a $50K medical bill? The median household income in the US is about $63K a year (https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator/ https://dqydj.com/household-income-percentile-calculator/)
