I just went on some family/child cost calculators to calculate what i'll save, and holy shit boys I'm about to have an awesome wealthy life.

You're missing the most important part — your time.

Your time.

You can always earn more money, but there is only so little time you have in your life. Can you imagine having to hand away all of your free time, for the better part of 20 years, because of a child you didn't want?

Guys, if you're still fooling around with women, for the love of all that is good, don't get them pregnant, and don't let them pin other men's children on you.

Before any man gets ~~trapped~~ married he should fill out a child support worksheet with his fiance. Find out beforehand what this contract might cost.

I figure it all cost me $750k (two kids), not including opportunity costs (ie. not wanting to move away for a better job, no taking consulting jobs, etc).

Get a vasectomy: it's the simplest, most painless procedure, with a lifetime of benefit.

That's it? It seems cheap. I'm going through a nasty divorce and it has cost me $200k in legal fees in 2 years. I know fathers who have spent $400k in legal fees.

Those calculators do not take into account cost of a high conflict divorce, false allegations of abuse (to win in family court). Remember that.

Just remember that tomorrow is promised to no one. Good to save money, but when that currency hyperinflates and we're all Zimbabwe billionaires, you have to root your self worth internally.

Cheers to the next 50 years of spending money on myself!

Decision making is strong with this one. The plantation however would like you to reconsider your life choices. :D

Those "calculators" are actually fucked up antinatalist propaganda made specifically for woke empowered feminist women who don't need no man. They include weird super UMC entitled shit like the need to buy your 16 year old a new nice fucking car otherwise they will get trauma and life long crippling depression . On the other hand we can import some totally well adjusted professionals that grew in poverty in some third world country.
