neither of those are true. my issue with the above comment is there are many people who are truly forced to live paycheck to paycheck without luxuries like choosing many thousands of dollars per year IVF. that’s a choice. you can make a lot of choices to live as close to cash flow zero as possible but that doesn’t make it forced. and really it degrades the troubles that many other workers go through who work very hard for their money
- AYBABTME 4y agoSo to express your perceived degrading of the struggle of poorer people, you figured the best approach was to take exception of their attempts at having children. You could also have taken a pass. You weren't forced to comment, you made that choice.
- ldoughty 4y agoYou're basically saying it's a choice to live with someone you love, and to raise someone you love, and you should only do so if you are already financially stable. If I chose to live with and marry the love of my life, and the results is that I live paycheck to paycheck, is that still a choice? I already said that we BOTH work second jobs to pay for our choice, and I'd argue your comment degrades the troubles that my family is going through to achieve our goals with the money that we're working hard for. I can see people viewing the cost of IVF and seeing it as being wasteful, but when you're in this situation and you've been trying for 5+ years, it's a hard feeling and situation to convey. And ultimately, I find it unfair to say a couple that naturally has a child is "forced" to pay for daycare -- and that is acceptable... but a family who wants to have a child can't pay near the same amount to have the child they want -- that's a choice!....
