Live like no one else today, so you can live like no one else tomorrow.
The difficulty of raising children is more than fairly rewarded by having a strong family to help you in your elder years, and to have people you can pass your wisdom onto in return!
It's truly sad that the FIAT system isn't just stealing our savings and wages, it's actually stealing our families too. The family's that we would otherwise be able to afford to build if we were on a sound monetary system.
'DINK' being a movement is purely a consequence of constant FIAT debasement, they're enjoying life without kids when they're young, and they'll be extremely alone when they're in the final years of their lives.
Bitcoin truly fixes nearly everything that's wrong with the world today. It's beneficial effects fix every far reaching consequence of FIAT, and it cannot be stopped.
quotingIn my thinking, those responsibilities are tied to having a family, not a consequence of marriage per se. In that context I would certainly agree that having more responsibilities means “carrying a heavier load.” But the partnership of a marriage is meant to lighten it, not weigh it down further.

In my personal opinion having a family is well worth all of that, especially looking toward the future. My framing has always been thinking about what I want to have when I’m 70. Responsibility today means a big family when I’m older where I can finally let a lot of that weight off and I won’t be alone and wishing I had made different choices or cared too much about what my job had been. Basically it seems to me like choice between living without responsibility today, and being alone without options in 30 years. Or carry those responsibilities now, and be vastly better off and have a supportive family in 30 years.
