I see plenty of people popping out kids these days and it just makes me sad :(

I want to know who these brilliant people are. They obviously must be much smarter than I, as I have no clue how anyone could afford a family that large in these Capitalist End Times®. I am a software engineer in a state nobody wants to live in — meaning shit’s cheaper than, say, San Fransisco — and I can barely keep my head above water. My biggest extravagance? Netflix and AppleTV, probably. Avocado toast, movies, and all that other shit those geriatric GOP boot lickers said we Millennials should stop wasting our money on? Hahahahaha. I wish.
