    I'm talking being able to at least go on vacations twice a year, 20k car, 1200 Mortgage, decent food, and a little bit of savings? I know location plays a huge part...But it seems like most college students nowadays expect to make 60k right out of university.

    I was having an argument with a junior student today..he had no idea I was still going to school, but being the dumbass I am who can't stop talking..I told him I make a little bit over 40k a year. And this guy just starts talking about how people even live with anything under 70k a year...

    It's not my location since we live in the same city

    I imagine San Antonio would be a cheap place to live in..Is 60k sufficient to support a family of 4?

    Comfortable living coincides with wise spending rather than income after you can afford your needs. Surplus income is a blank slate of potential, somebody can wisely use $10,000 dollars to live better than somebody with $20,000 extra income.

    True, you can never expect to have any kids when your partner has the same tool as yours between the legs

    When you own more books than some librairies, have more music than some radio stations, all the vehicles are paid for. You make over 3000 a month for doing....0. While the wife also makes around that and loves what she does. You have no bills other than the usual..house, electric etc.

    Life is good!

    Not having kids for some people is more about understanding they are too selfish to raise a child. At least they are aware of such a thing and don't have children just to have them...because there are many people that aren't. I see selfish people every day that only had kids because they wanted to feel validated and they treat their kids like possessions instead of people they are molding into good, well adjusted human beings.

    Bring born in the right family really helps tbh - for example, being born to a Mexican family with lots of kids and highest educational background being a high school graduate does not instill great financial values, tbh.

    That being said, you are responsible for your own destiny - don't Jacob your life by getting a History degree by going into debt for 50k. MAke a budget and stick to it, very simple tbh.

    I probably will have kids, but mostly because my girl wants kids in the future, tbh..

    Personally, I dislike kids, they're annoying and I can't picture myself wanting to raise one of those pests, tbh..that may change once I reach my late 20s or older, but I can't see it at this point..

    you need to not be thinking about kids but rather how you can increase your pay beyond that paltry $17.00/ hr you earn

    I would say at least 100k household income to live the two kid, two car, qtr mil house, and fridge stocked from costco kinda life. Less if school loans and credit cards are paid off. But don't forget child care if both parents are working unless your lucky and have a retired gma.

    some people don't want to bring kids into this world for their own sake.


    and "being too selfish" is a bit of a stretch because we're having overpopulation issues.

    Stay away from marriage and kids. Do not borrow assloads of money for a piece of paper that says you graduated. Do not cave to peer pressure especially peer pressure from your family. Do not be a weak individual and put all of you marbles into religion. Avoid toxic people. If I had done those things, my life would be a million times better right now.

    Its hard not to, we're pretty much a in rat in a maze. The system in the US is such where if you dont have $ you're out of luck. You need money for health care for christ sakes and dont get me started on student loans.
