What's considered financially successful? I've seen households where there are 3 families (6 adults, 5 kids together) all living under one roof and they make it work. They're also happy or at least content with their situation. They're hard-working people doing manual labor. I can't call them selfish.

I get what the OP is saying but at the same time finding a balance between the right age and being financially stable is basically impossible these days. Unless ur a 6 figure IT coli nikka of course :troll:. You wait till youre completely stable then all of a sudden your 40 years old running around with a bunch of toddlers. To me thats just as bad if not worse.

Nothing is worse than not being financially able to provide a life for your kids. I'd rather be 40 years old chasing toddlers around a 4 bedroom house than to be in my 20's chasing them around a 2 bedroom apt.

The way the world economy is going most people shouln't have kids then. Most of the world is struggling and poor.

If money dictates everything in your life then we as a species have lost.

I agree with you to an extent.
But you don't need to go to private school to make something of yourself. :heh:

id use financially stable

alot of my friends put themselves in a really bad spot in their early 20's by having kids too early, i dont understand theres plenty of time and only a handful were mistakes. now they have debt piled up, arent with the other parent and the kid becomes less and less adorable every year

How so? My Dad was 42 when I was born and I had a great upbringing
