- sgtnoodle 5y agoIf those are important life goals, you sort of just have to trudge ahead and make it work without thinking about it too much. Otherwise it will never happen. Buying a house perhaps less so, although paying a mortgage rather than rent means you're getting slightly wealthier each month rather than poorer.
- qgin 5y ago99% of everyone can afford a wife and kids as long as you don’t insist on the luxury version.

It's also hard to support a family on that income. I know several guys in their late thirties to early fifties who make that much money, would love to get married and have kids, but haven't been able to. I also know someone who made 65k a year but his wife didn't feel like that was enough to raise children on. I really think a lot more than 1% of the population where they feel like money is an obstacle that keeps them from having a family.
