The cost of raising a child.

Verbatim · April 29, 2015, 05:36:00 PM

Having children is wrong anyway.

Huh, only $13,630 a year. Damn, US minimum wage for one person just barely covers that.

Then again, what's the source of this info? I mean I could shave a few off if I stopped buying baby caviar and pre-made meals to simply buying veg and cooking.

In reality it would be down to me and Mrs. O'Donnell, which if I was married and all that I'd assume I'm in an ok state to cover it. If I was on my own on this, I'd be inclined to say fuck that, that's just a struggle for both me and the kid.

I would have to say the biggest cost would be your sanity, and despite seeing how much they can drain you of it I still want to have children one day.

That's why the rest of us have to subsidize poor people who have kids and why I'm against poor people breeding.

Sure, it wouldn't cost that much for me to raise a kid.

Just some money for a leash, dog food, and sex toys.

You'll probably even make a return on your investment once she's too old for you.

I'm all for a coupon/ration based welfare system, but I can see where you're coming from. People on benefits shouldn't be allowed to have flatscreen TV's or obese kids, they need fucking books and fresh food.

Problem with that is a cheeseburger is the same price as an organic apple... Also I'm pretty sure in the United States they offer free birth control to those on welfare... Thank Obamasan you fucking cunt.

Ingy · April 29, 2015, 07:36:04 PM

The rewards and emotional gain is worth it

You grow as a person and actually affect the world

Raising a child isn't just money

Plus that's only like 135OO a year which isn't that much

Yeah, I mean, I'm glad that the kids are getting something, but like, if you can't financially support a kid without government benefits, you may want to reconsider having one for his/her sake until you're more financially stable/secure.

Luis · April 29, 2015, 09:30:21 PM

I didn't want kids in the first place

Still worth it. I want to have kids.

Good thing I won't be having kids. Or if it happens by accident, I swear I'll sell them into slavery for a good buck

You're asking a guy who couldn't find it in him to give any less of a fuck about money. Two days ago I took 1000 dollars out of my wee little savings folder and handed it to a friend of mine with no complaints, and not even a comment about paying it off.

I'm going to take another 200 today, which will deplete my savings folder to empty.

So, no. Money is money. You make what you need. And you'll spend what you have.

Yikes.. That's foolish with your money. I'm no jew, but my jelly friends call me one with how I handle money.

Not foolish, no. I know my limits. In due time, that 1200 will be replaced, easily. I don't hand money away to strangers like candy. Those funds were neccessary to help somebody.

I don't live, or spend beyond what I need. I save up, slowly, but for the most part, due to my simplicity, any problems I encounter money wise are all within reach and payability, and I will likely never find myself with a price I can't handle.

And I will never be in debt.

So you're against child birth for population issues? Or for the sheer fact you wish for a voluntary extinction?
Either way if that's the case, you can help us all by killing yourself.
