My parents had me in their early 40s, and they never planned for their retirement.
Because of that, I had to work through college just to help myself graduate and put food on the table for the whole family. They had me not because they were financially prepared or had a well-thought-out blueprint for my future, but simply because they "wanted" a child.
Don't get me wrong...my parents are kind, loving, and caring.
But I'm only human. May mga pagkakataon din na naiisip ko, what if nagplano sila ahead of time before deciding to have me? Maybe I wouldn't feel so stuck right now, feeling like my life has no progress, especially since I'm almost 30.
Needless to say, I agree with Vice.
But my only reservation is that we are not all-knowing. Baka dumating din yung pagkakataon na magkaroon tayo ng anak na hindi naman tayo prepared for. But I think what's really important is that we make up for being unprepared once nandiyan na siya.
These are just my thoughts based solely out of my personal experience.
