The $1000 dollar a month argument is weak though. If I have a job that pays $4000 a month but it requires driving 100km to get there, then a reliable car is a good investment. Not buying a car and raising kids instead (who require more than $1000 a month) would require me either having a great parental network to fall back on (e.g. parents, a village) or having those kids taken away from me as I fail to meet their needs (Also the article did not at all address the clickbait title that made me read it. Okay, we will have more pets maybe. Anything else?)
