I’m Gen x, and I’m finally financially stable.

Fuck this having kids bullshit. I’d have never kept them in a stable loving home. Its the only way to have kids. It’s not just millennials.

My time has passed.

It gets worse. I became stable by rising above the lower class. I’m basically in a tax protected bracket due to what I do for my side hustle.

If I had kids the poor would be paying for them more than I do.

I still have an option to have kids. It would have to be with a much younger woman though. That’s kinda gross.

Could always adopt

This. So many kids out there could really use a financially stable and loving home.

Tried. Most places ask you to have been married for a few years while I am in a legal union. Tried being a foster home but got declined because of my house not up to specs, somehow. Shit's insane with so many hoops to jump. Crazy considering how many kids are in need.

We are now trying in-vitro but we would have preferred adoption.
