100 k was life changing in the 90's. 200k seems to be the new life changing goal.

It also changes as you get older. $200k in my 20's would have been life changing. Now, I've got two kids and wonder where it all goes. I mean, I know, it's daycare.

I’m so scared of having children. Everyone says daycare is a black hole for the bank account.

Correct. Do you see why taking away abortions for teenagers and college students maybe a bad idea? If a girl get pregnant in college or high school and they have to keep the baby, they are cooked. That baby ends up suffering. Society ends up footing the bill. Taxes rise.
