Not poor enough to get any kind of government aid, but a two income middle class family making 100k HHI (for example, teacher making 45k and generic office worker guy making 60k) and then having to spend a ton of money on child care and all sorts of child expenses is fucked…. Especially relative to what their boomer parents had. And never being able to afford a house.

100k HHI families have grandparent support. They either live in podunk near family or in urban area near family. There is no yuppie family raising kids on 100k combined by themselves. The math doesn’t work.

Yea if you want to be dirt fucking broke with no real way out. Sure you can do it. But you won't get government assistance and you are setting the kids up for a life time of debt and poverty.

median teacher salary a lot of are country states is like 50-60. now do 25th percentile, and you're sometimes below 40k even. with a young woman teacher who is having kids, i'd assume they're closer to the 25th percentile

Daycares in places like NYC are subsidized up to $200k a year or some ridiculous number. Up to 85% of median income it's 100% free.

Does that have anything to do with the fact that mommy and daddy gave you a bunch of houses in brooklyn that they bought in the 1980s, and you didnt actually earn it yourself with your 156 lsat score that got you into tulane university school of law?

Income cap is $109k with 2 kids or $126k with three kids. Basically -- nobody in NYC is allowed to bitch.

It depends on where you live and what your expectations are. Most MC families were living in 2 bed 2 bath tiny houses back in the 50s. You can still find those kind of homes in some cities. Sending kids to public schools and using something like YMCA for free after school care means you just need to scrape enough together to provide 9 meals a week per kid and cover summers. It’s not easy but it’s doable.

these poors are gonna have to send their kids to shitty public schools filled with dangerous minorities because they live in horrible school districts bc they're poor. but hey, depends on what your expectations are. not saying its not doable. it's doable - just miserable and their kids are gonna have worse lives than them. not saying they're justified in being genetic dead ends, but it's not hard to understand their choices.

I honestly can't imagine. The thing with kids is that as two working parents what you lack is time and you can compensate with money or hate your life.

This is the stupid shit I’ve ever heard. We have 3, zero grandparent support, wife a SAHM and I make $200k.

We’re living fine. When I lower the income 401k I’m well within a range to get a lot of money back, pay little taxes and universal preK in our 180 school district.

I cant imagine paying tutors and activities and what not for three kids on that income. Much less saving adequately for college for all three and retirement. You are probably okay at the moment but you are going to need an income increase that well outpaces inflation in the next few years.

Yeah I don't get how they do it. At least the ones with no parental support. I think they just load up on debt (mortgage, car loans, credit card) and hope that the house appreciates enough in the future to pay everything off. I don't care if you're in a low COL. Childcare is expensive.

It’s expensive for 0-3 or 4. Once kids are in public school and subsidized after care it’s much more doable. If neighbors could trust each other then they’d pool resources to watch kids while some parents are working and rotate coverage. It’s rare that people even know who lives around them much less could trust them to take care of their kids these days. It’s sad

Far more low income people have kids than UMC people do. UMC deliberately don't have kids because they say they can't afford it but proles don't think that way. They just have kids and it all works out.

It's people's decision to make kids expensive, not kids themselves.

proles have kids and it all works out, but 1) they're miserable because they're constantly living in the misery and stress of one missed payment away from utter financial ruin, or 2) they're too dumb to care and worry about #1
