“Why do you have to have a kid if you cannot afford it?”
Good question. Why do welfare single moms have multiple children when they can’t afford it?
By the time many married women with stable incomes think they can finally “afford” a child, they’re often too old to conceive.
If you think having a kid is expensive, go out and price fertility treatments. The money you think you saved by waiting turns out to be an utter wash. And frequently, they don’t work.
I think the one thing this couple is doing right is having a child while they still can.
