Would you have a child in todays world ?

People ask me, why I wouldn’t want children. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to bring my child into a world like this. I would love to have a mini me but, the world is not the same anymore. You can’t find real happiness anymore. Increase of cost of living, ridiculous! By the time they grow up and become adults. The world would be run by robots. There would be no jobs. Crime rate is getting worse by day. I wouldn’t want my kids to suffer. Would you ?

Both of my kids are well into adulthood, so I really don't have a dog in this fight.

However, I totally agree with you. Between insurance companies denials, inflation, stagnant wages, the ever increasing cost of living and all the other random crap in the World.... It really makes you wonder about having kids.

And never mind the statistic that says it costs 375K to raise a child to 18 in a middle-class family.....
