My parents had 3 kids whilst being somewhat lower income

Bad idea

ew

3 kids

that's hell

my uncle has 3 too

People should have the income capable of raising children should they choose to do so.

If they don't, they should.

he's lucky that his oldest one is off somewhere for his uni life already

New zealanders are known for having 6-12 kids per couple, the parents struggle til the kids age a bit and then it becomes the responsibility of the kids to pay for 100% of the fathers life

Paying 75% + of wages upwards to parents

What?

Like parent alimony?

essentially

they all as a group cover 100% of the fathers expenses

That's...retarded.

So he has 30-40 years of cruising

father or parents*

What if they can't pay up?

@crescendo2020 How many do you have

the sheer number of kids accounts for some dropkicks

Just the one.

I'm 36, so it's okay.

I've had the heaviest paternal drive for the last 3-5y

im hoping to find a baby factory that can pump out over 5

Have fun sacrificing your life and money then

You looking to retire, I take it?

I'm perfectly fine making sacrifices.

I grew up dirt poor and have worked for everything I've earned. There's nothing that I haven't seen financially.

struggle builds character and lack of struggle builds complacency

even if i was richie rich i'd act poor around my kids

There's an element to it that is sort of vicarious. Poor kids who work hard and earn wealth normally raise entitled brats.

I think you hinted at it yourself, wanting to provide a world without struggling for your kid

Because their parents want to see the feeling of having cool toys and a car at 16.

I'm aware of it.

The way I look at it is, if she is an entitled asshole, she still had a better childhood than me.

I'm kidding. There's more to it than that.

just buy her an audi and not a range for her 16th and itll be fine

That's an arbitrary generalization

I've had a worse experience with poor people than wealthy

Generalizing is pretty typical amongst jokes.
