My 21 year old married daughter is dying to have kids. Her and her husband have decided to postpone children for another 4 years until the economy bounces back.
She’s very sad about it, but doesn’t feel like she has a choice.
That is sad, so different from when my wife and I were young. We had a child in our mid-twenties despite being poor, and we didn't care (middle of the Carter regime). We were happy and got by until things improved. Our daughters did the same, having children despite trying to get by, and have steadily improved their economic situation. Children don't necessarily need money, but they do need love and attention. I can understand postponing if that can't be provided.
