I don't have a burning desire to have children, but if I ever meet someone I truly love and she wants to have a child, I'd support her.

I used to think the same. I thank God that i changed. I urge you to do the same and reconsider. Find the right person and have kids. When (or rather before) you have kids, invest time in learning to parent. 🙏❣️

Nope. Rather save/invest so I can retire early. Fat FIRE baby.

Of course it is possible to do this with kids, but a lot more difficult and less practical, since amassing any decent amount of wealth requires you to take risks such as investing or starting a business. It becomes much harder to justify risking a steady income if you got mouths to feed.

And of course if you have no kids, the money you'd have spent raising them (six figures each) can go into yielding that wealth much faster, e.g. by stacking mad sats and playing the stonk market (yes I hate tradfi as much as the rest of you, but in my country at least you can do it without paying CGT, and it's usually easy money if you do your research - Wall Street decides if stonks go up or down so pay attention and take long and short positions accordingly, hedge your bets just in case).

We have one. We had plans having more but then came along the semi severe illness to my wife.

reply

I think having two kids would be nice (so they still have each other when we parents will be gone) but I am scared of raising them. So not sure. But I voted for two.

reply

Depends on if I'll have a job, savings and survive the 3rd world lol

reply

Heh, no one wants to have 6 kids

reply

No more than already have

reply

If I had the financial means, I'd go for as many as possible, but since money is a factor, I'd be happy with 3 (currently have 2)
