I always wanted children.

I can’t afford one.

We planning on our first and I am unsure if we can afford one. Still trying anyhow and just going to struggle I guess.

If we could frame the "population crisis" as this cost of living crisis and parental support this could be a change.

Same, the most I can afford is a gun to kms when I can't work anymore.

It really feels like the human experiment is coming to a close.
