    having kids. If I had established myself a bit earlier financially it might have happened before I saw the signs of where things were going.

        I can understand that but its part of the reason im so glad I don’t have one as I would not like to see them dealing with the world today as far as getting an education and a job and seeing a nice future for themselves.

          Yeah, I feel this. I’m in a rough spot right now and the world keeps getting tougher. The idea of bringing someone into this suffering seems cruel to me

            Well and when you age you can’t help but lean on your children who just can’t handle the load. its just not an option without kids which is good. I would rather take the suffering than feel I am dropping it on my kids. How aweful it would be to see their suffering, almost worse is they were the best of us and did so well but could achieve so little due to circumstances. If I had kids I certainly would not have been able to help them pay for college. I mean my parents could not but my college loans were like a very nice car loan not like today where its a mortgage.
