I had $17k in the 401k when I was laid off from my last job - it had been twice that but there was that big collapse. Raised a lot of kids and couldn’t put much away. Always something but never much. That was in my 40s.
I am dug out now, mostly, in my 50s, not to the point I think I’ll retire but oh my God when I look at the difference between them and now it’s crazy, there is so much more.
I just want to say, don’t give up hope. I would never have dreamed that this would turn around and it did. And the kids grew up too.
Oh, sorry, I haven’t given up hope. It was sort of said with…a laugh. I do have some investments I’ve made as of late that are looking like they could pay off big…we’ll see. Either way, I still sleep okay at night and I have a roof over my head so I can’t complain.

And this is why people are not having kids.
If you are normie. It should be really just 1 if you got to breed and any extra depends on financial ability
