    Yup. I’m planning on keeping my kids in the house until they’re 100% able to afford life on their own, and I’m planning on not retiring until I’m kicked out of my job. Fuck this country and fuck capitalism.

        I hear you and I 100% understand. Kids are not easy. And when you’re not financially ready, they’re almost impossible. Don’t listen to that bullshit “you’re never ready” or “you’re ready when they’re here” blah blah. They’re fucking hard and if you don’t have the money, don’t have them. It’d only get 10 folds worse for you. I went through all of that myself. It wasn’t fun at all. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy.
