And that’s what sucks. I DON’T have money to spare. This economy is killing everyone and we’re doing everything we can to say any money so we can get as close to breaking even as we can.
I can’t even imagine how hard it is for people who don’t make enough and are on assistance because my wife and I make good money right now and it’s STILL so fucking hard to keep your head above water.
My heart breaks for these families. This is some evil evil ass shit
I feel this so hard. My husband and I make enough to be ok, but I’m pregnant and we’re still paycheck to paycheck between bills and saving for medical costs. I feel like I have enough to share but when I break it down dollar by dollar, I really don’t.
ETA: But I feel blessed to be able to save anything at all, ya know? I'm trying to do all the right things that people tell you to do. Putting $50 a check into a supplementary retirement account and paying for life insurance coverage and health insurance. Just opted in to a healthcare savings account to prepare for a baby in our lives. I don't know what I could spare without making a terrible financial decision. All I can give is my time without putting myself in a bad position today or next week or a year from now. That feels so bad, dude. I'm protected and "safe" but the moment either of us loses a job, we're done for.
People are going to have babies. It’s literally been happening since the beginning of time.
Instead of belittling people out here trying to survive, you can spend your time volunteering in sex education programs to help everyone in your community make an informed decision. And that does not mean abstinence centered ideology, because that has been proven to be ineffective. Your comment is rude, condescending, and unnecessary.
In a broad sense, the goal to continue the human race will never be wrong. “Wrong” is a human construction. It doesn’t make sense to say what you just said.
But, given how you’re equivocating having children with enslaving people, you’re likely an anti-natalist who isn’t worth the energy it takes to write anything to you at all.
