The person you are replying to had a job (likely in tech), a house, a car, and a chance at promotion when the child was conceived. That seems like a better position than most.
If your implied threshold for conceiving a child is that you must have acquired all of these things plus enough savings to weather unexpected medical events and extended job loss then that seems like a threshold that the majority of couples will not reach during their childbearing years.
