Is it worth it to spend the money on college
if all you want to do is raise a family? Especially if you can make money on the side doing things you enjoy.

🤷🏻♀️ Depends on whether you can find a breadwinner. It’s uncommon these days, but not impossible. Definitely risky though. I’ve met a bunch of stay-at-home moms who 10 years in were trapped in a bad marriage or divorced with nothing to fall back on.
‘Money on the side’ though? No, taking care of kids properly is very expensive: healthy groceries, insurance+ possible copay fees, clothing, a reliable home in a safe enough area with a decent school system, transportation, not including luxuries like toys and recreational stuff or all the things the kid might want as they get older.
Raising a child in poverty is… extremely stressful and is very hard on kids heh. It’s not something to shoot for.
