In today's money, that means a gross salary of 150k per year. His wife needs to make 100k per year, neither of them working any overtime to do it, either, if they want 2 kids. 20 years from now, they'll have to be making twice as much, due to inflation. Using public schools is welfare. Having neighbors and your parents watch your kids is welfare. YOU had them, YOU pay for raising them, all the way to a master's degree. Dont be pointing govt guns at me and taking MY money for your kids. and dont raise welfare bums and criminals. You'll have to get the kid thru a master's degree program, or set him up in some REAL biz, so you;'re going to have to cough up 20k per year, for 25 years.
you clear 100k per year on 150k and the wife can't help while the kids are little, either. She belongs at home, bonding with them, until they are 6 years old. 20k per year on a decent house, utilites, net, cable, , 10k per year on a couple of cars, 30k on the parents' general upkeep, and the 100k is gone. you wanna retire in 20 years, like everyone else, better be saving 50k per year, between the 2 of you. When wife is working, baby sitters, etc, cost 20k per year.
Wake up, get a vasectomy . Once you're a millionaire, adopt a kid from the third world. ONE kid per million $ in the bank.
