Yeah idk why they’re talking future tense here. I’m a millennial. Almost all my friends who wanted kids had to choose between work and being able to afford life in general or having kids and being poor. Many are already poor and can’t afford to “buy that baby” as one friend succinctly put it. Ultimately it was cost that tipped my decision not to. I barely have any savings but work full time.

I made the amazing decision (/s) to have a kid at 21 with a woman who already had one child. Decided we should get married. Fast forward, now divorced younger daughter still live with me. We both live with my parents and despite working full time I can't afford to buy or rent a house. I collect no child support and their mother moved to the other side of the country. I'm right on the cusp of early millennials.
