the only part you lost me on. everyone i know considers the world far too precarious to start a family.
- jseliger 13y agoconsiders the world far too precarious to start a family By virtually every metric, the world is a much safer, healthier place than it used to be: http://www.amazon.com/The-Better-Angels-Our-Nature/dp/0143122010 http://www.amazon.com/The-Better-Angels-Our-Nature/dp/014312... .
- toomuchtodo 13y agoSafer? Yes. Healthier? Yes. Stable? No. Between income/job volatility and lack of proper social safety nets (at least in the US), its a dangerous gamble to start a family unless you're in the right situation.
- collyw 13y agoInequality has grown over the last 30 years, so I would disagree.
- krstck 13y agoI'd love to start a family, but my partner and I won't be able to afford it any time in the foreseeable future due to student loans.
- tekalon 13y agoAgreed, and since I'm paying my loans, can't save for a downpayment for a house (which is cheaper than renting).
