Like pointing out about, I know a lot of people do this knowing the governments in certain countries will support them so they feel less obligated I guess. Back in the day it seemed like middle and upper class families had a lot more kids and maybe that is down to how the family unit worked. Women would primarily stay home and the men would work so someone was there to supply resources and the other was there to watch after the kids. However, I see couples today where only the man works (or in rarer cases, only the woman) and they don't need the second income yet don't want children at all or only 1 or 2.
Part of me thinks we are getting lazier as time goes on LOL
I don't think you're too far off the mark. I come from a very low income family myself, and I think it boils down to ignorance on some level. There's a lot of people, good people who simply just don't know how to utilize money as effectively as they can. It's a tool, not a means to get by. Use it wrong, and you'll find that all you'll actually be using it for is to get by.
Me and my gf have been together (living together) now for a couple of years +, and we understand the need to splurge on ourselves to break the monotony, but for the most part we're very focused on our career/businesses that we have. We have talked about kids, but not soon.
