People keep wondering why American millennials aren’t having children but it’s very obvious if you are a millennial yourself. My girlfriend and I can’t even think of having children because we can’t be confident about being able to give them a decent life, and it will be that way for as long as our landlord is in charge.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoThe last time I checked, it cost nearly $20k per year to raise a child in America?
- toomuchtodo 5y ago~$270k per child from birth to 18 per USDA, inflation adjusted to 2022 dollars.
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoI make about $35K/year so not an option.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoThat is such a tragedy, especially as American birth rates are in such a decline.
- carlivar 5y agoBuying a house will just replace the landlord with a bank and the government (property tax).
- antifa 5y agoThe mortgage ends in 30 years, rent will continue rising until you die.
- carlivar 5y agoSo will property tax
- antifa 5y agoIt's basically nothing compared to rent, which will be adjusted for every property tax hike, but also always goes up regardless of property tax.
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoAnd you can’t be evicted at any time with a 60 day notice w/ no explanation! That part is pretty significant.
- antifa 5y agoWhich has a fair market value of nothing compared to a house.
