    Exactly. You have to have a very comfortable life if the idea of having a kid doesn’t scare the shit out of you… that or you’re the type of person that doesn’t give a shit about your kids.

        what are your stakes in the game? what does it cost you if you’re wrong and having children does indeed turn out to be a mistake? are you gonna pay for the damages? if not, then you have no right to tell people what to do.

            You are emblematic of the selfish mentality so many people have these days, which is a meaningful part of why I personally don’t want to have kids

              As long as you take care of your own pension then it’s all fine. Do whatever you want.

          My wife has been an indonesian all her life and her family does pretty well. She and her sisters have university degrees. Her sisters both are married, have 2 or 1 kid.

          It’s all pretty fine. Labour is very cheap but so is the cost of living. They barely have any old people and a high labour force. Their economy has been booming.

          Maybe you should go there
