Forgive me if this is a personal question but are you able to afford to stow any money away for retirement while paying for daycare?

Seems like this is a HUGE bill to take on for most parents so I'm not understanding how most people can afford to do this.


O yea. I can afford it. I max out my 401k and have a decent amount of savings...but I had to adjust my lifestyle drastically. For example instead of drinking my favorite beers I drink natty ice instead:francis:

I haven't been out to eat in a year and that's something I loved to do, but it's cool. No big deal

That's not only a lifestyle change, you're sacrificing the quality of what you put into your body to feed this new parasite that has originated from your body :francis:

It is a blood sucking being that doesn't even begin to produce anything useful for itself or society until 25 years later!!!!! :damn:

What kind of idiots are we as a species to continue reproducing like this in these high numbers?

In 1910 a kid would start working and helping around the farm at age 7. At least the child could watch the damn chickens and make sure they don't escape the coop :aicmon:

Now they can't even wipe their own ass or get a part-time well paid job until they graduate college :shaq2: The cost of raising a human in 2016 and beyond is FAR TOO HIGH

My BM didn't work for the first year--that's when the prices were outrages. Then I made her sign up for some program and tell them I ain't involved :stopitslime: It took a while before they accepted her to the program but when they did :wow:

I was paying $140 a month. Use to give my BM $150 and tell her to keep the change. :smugdraper:

Then when she turned 3, it went down to $110 :wow: a MONTH...talking bout boys was paying more than that per week.

:whoo:

People would be surprised how much they spend annually in food and entertainment.... it can literally be a monthly day care bill for some people

My children are not parasites my dude...I love them and I feed off their energy just as much as they feed Off me

it's a "other side is greener" paradox because like you can't believe I would want kids, I definitely can't understand why you wouldn't.

All of the memories we have created:blessed:

And all the ones I'll have when I'm 80 and they give me grandchildren :blessed:

My 24/7 comedy show:blessed:






:jawalrus:I'm about to leave work early and take them to showbiz (chuckie cheese)

What about all the other dudes on the coli slaving away who can't take off work early to take their kids to chuckie cheese huh :wow:

People always want to try and be positive once they have kids because they know social services will swoop in the moment they seemed disgruntled :francis:

Must be rough having to fake happiness in every moment and keeping your blood pressure so high due to contained stress :patrice:

Basically. After my bills were paid every month and stuff put into saving/401k, me and wifey had nearly 2,000 a month to trick off on...all we did was travel and go out to eat. We never ate at home really

Good for you

My point is 90% of the parents I see are stressed miserable broke and their life would have been better off with no kids

The exception does not make the rule breh

Its not the kids that made them stressed, miserable and broke.
They made themselves that way...
People who don't plan usually find themselves in fukked up situations.
We get it...Kids cost a lot of money, but nikkaz out here having kids at 18 on KFC pay. Of course they are going to reach 25 and bytch and moan about wasted opportunity. Ole, "if I aint have these kids ass nikkaz".

No you probably should have established yourself and prepared.

The problem is the U.S. government promotes this fantasy that this is the land of opportunity for all and worst comes to worse welfare is there

And there you have these criminals on one hand and baby mommas with their hands out on the other hand

I'm not saying any government worldwide is better. But it's up to the PEOPLE and their own CULTURE to self-govern and we haven't done ANY of that

So what is needed is DISCOURAGING reckless procreation to offset the situation we're currently in. There are TOO MANY poor people simply due to a lack of reproductive responsibility plain and simple

And it's killing the global economy, America in particular and especially Black America

I honestly don't see how ppl can afford more than one kid. Formula and daycare alone was over a stack a month. I'm about to get my nuts tied. Never again
