If people waited until they could afford to have children in this shitty economy, they'd miss child-bearing age. In fact, this is what is happening now. If it weren't for immigration, the population of the United States would be declining. Meanwhile decades ago, high school drop-outs could raise a family in a house that they own on a single income. This is a systemic problem, not one of people not being able to manage money. When money doesn't go as far as it did in the past and wages haven't been keeping up, it's harder to make that money actually work.

This is actually true lol O_o

My gf and I decided: it's either kids or a house. So we're choosing to have a kid :P

I figure, as long as the child knows love and has a happy family, a house isn't as important.
