Raising a child in the U.S. costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many younger Americans say they can't afford it.

      We’re going to be retiring soon, some of the older millennials, and they’re still going to be telling us to have more kids lol.

        As a Class of 2000, aka OG Millennial, wtf are you talking about?

        We’re in our early 40s.

          That’s what I’m saying! Too old. Did you know the medical term for a pregnancy after 35 is geriatric pregnancy? Ya bro, we’re getting committed to the old folks home soon here, you and I.

          And some of us are getting ready to leave the work force, that was my only point.

              Americans who got lucky in life have a bad habit of shrugging off the majority that didn’t as somehow irresponsible and not worth considering.

              My cousin does this. Looks at you like you’re speaking a foreign language when you say you can’t afford something that would make your life easier like replacing a malfunctioning appliance right now.

              Privilege is a bubble of willful ignorance akin to the Republican bubble.

      The youngest millennials aren’t even 30 yet, and there’s lots of places where most people have children in their early 30s nowadays
