    My wife and I are just kinda sorta getting to a place where we could consider having a kid. But we are getting a little old to have a kid.

    Also, a kid at this point would tank out ability to save and slow down our career progress.

    So by the time people get to a financial place to have a kid, they are too old to do it. Or they have to sacrifice too much.

        My sister-in-law want her first child to be adopted and if she decides for a second one she will possibly have her own.

        I think my wife and I decided to stay kid free, but we will be a big part of our niece and nephews life.

      You’ll be old when you’re dead. Go have a kids and teach them everything you know
