Being “unable to afford a child” isn’t unusual. Historically, most parents were when they first had one. Or at least they thought they were. But almost all of them figured it out. They still do.
The current Western civilizational "wave" clearly indicates that "The State" does its best to shift the raising of kids from vernacular families to state-owned entities in order to better stream-line the future slave's residual thinking and make them "love" their AI-serfdom ...
High-time, and again, to remember where the verdant flags are raised ...
Great phrase; says it all: "Children extend the lens, encompassing a horizon beyond our lives. Focus shifts from passing fancies and fleeting fads to a line of descent that makes us immortal."
Excellent write up . The prize is Our children that grow up and have children of their own. We can watch and see inquiring minds that We missed as parents.
My husband and I could not afford childcare for two kids. We only made about $42K per year combined. We paid $100 per week for daycare and there was no way we could have paid double that. So, I only had one child. I would have liked to have had more, but there was just no way. We lived in a cheap, run-down apartment and only had one well-used car between us, so there wasn't anything we could cut in the budget. We never ate out or bought new clothes. We just could not live on one income during our childbearing years. We both had to work.
You ain't see nothing. Just as compared to the past (say, a hundred years ago) our present is immeasurably better, so also the future (say, fifty years from now) will be unimaginably better than the present. The world is getting better all the time.

Thank you. That line came to mind when my son walked into the room.

Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Good time?!

Are we rolling down hill
Like a snowball headed for Hell?
