Well, I belive we have diffrent opinions and experience of being "poor". Inflation rate here is roughly 30% and has been double digits for over the past decade. As of this year more than 40% are under tge poverty line wich is less than 500 usd per month for a household of 4 people. Keep in mind that this is just some of the economical issues we are facing. I have graduated from one of the top universities here, am in a stedy relationship for the past 5 years and we both work full time yet the shere though of having a baby scares the living shit out of me. No one that I know( including people from highschool, Uni, work, family, extended family, friends...) had a baby in the past few years while they where under 30. I believe that with no bright future insight and no way to ensure that you can provide a happy childhood for your child, having one will be selfish and irresponsible. Keep in mind that we are among the lucky ones that can (barely) provide ends meat. Now if you do choose to have a kid in this situation it is your decision, but also your responsibility. If they end up well then good for you, well done; but if they end up traumatized, it was your doing and it will be unfair to play the "they are an adult now they should suck it up" card.
