bloodysabbath posted:People will poo poo on you for saying this, but kids are a massive goddamned luxury that most people don't have the ability to afford. People will put more thought into whether or not to buy a $1,000 TV than they will about creating two or more living, breathing beings that will cost them an average of $250k in base expenses each over 18 years, before college expenses. That reminds me: There's this guy who runs a blog under the internet handle "Mr. Money Mustache": https://www.mrmoneymustache.com It looks like a source of common-sense financial advice, but a big chunk of the articles have him openly bragging about how superior he is to anyone even slightly less frugal than him, even if they're living well within their means. Reluctant to move to walking/biking distance of where you work? Bad with money. Have any hobbies which involve an internal combustion engine? Bad with money. Have a dog? Bad with money. Use a clothes dryer instead of hanging up your laundry to dry? Bad with money. Except that he has a kid, which, even if you're as frugal as he is, is more expensive than any of the above.
