This is a horrendously dystopian way of looking at life.

In my part of the US, it is on average 38k/yr to raise a child to 18. Rent/mortgage is about the same. Not even getting to utilities, food, and healthcare. Life is wildly expensive for families these days.

My teeth would be falling out right now, if I didn’t do a 54 hour work week. I want a part-time job too, so I can actually gain ground.

Ah yes the frivolous attachments of rent, food, and electricity
