- ldoughty 4y agoIf you don't have a paycheck you're also not living paycheck to paycheck? It comes down to how you want to live, and what you want from life. For our family having 1 kid was something we wanted / expected. It didn't happen naturally for several years. In 5 years, it would be nearly impossible for us to have a family (of our own genetics), so we were "forced" to go to IVF to have such a kid, or accept that she can't give birth to a child and her family line ends. Certainly, not everyone wants kids, and that's their choice -- I respect that -- I'm just saying it's not REALLY a choice sometimes... Which makes it "forces" about as much as the news article says.. because again, most IT people could remote work from the middle of nowhere.. but that's not what most people "accept".
