Financial is definitely the top one. I often wonder if our child will ever be able to afford a home. Are we saving enough for college considering how fast tuition is going up. Between my wife and I we definitely have good incomes but as we look for homes even we struggle to find something in our range. This also leads me to wondering if we will have some sort of great unraveling at some point and how this would affect ours.
Another big one and I'm not sure how to put it but the general state of media. We see other family with their kids on various platforms and it just seems so much to keep up with and we're dealing with just Youtube at this point. Every few days we're getting told about something what was watched which brings up the inevitable discussion of everything that is online is not true and the follow on of "what are you watching".
I do constantly remind myself that my fears are most likely what many parents experience in some form or another and that this is just another generation. But many times I do wonder if we would have chosen to have kids today if we waited.
- jseliger 5y ago* Are we saving enough for college considering how fast tuition is going up* It's not obvious to me that the college system as it stands today and has stood for the last twenty years is going to be similar in twenty years. In Arizona, full-time community-college students pay under $2k/semester for school: https://www.maricopa.edu/future-students/tuition-fees https://www.maricopa.edu/future-students/tuition-fees. It is possible, even today, to pay relatively little for a four-year college degree. Most people prefer existence to non-existence, even if the cost of housing is high. https://www.amazon.com/Selfish-Reasons-Have-More-Kids/dp/0465028616 https://www.amazon.com/Selfish-Reasons-Have-More-Kids/dp/046...
