I see the advice around here a lot about never get married. That's great advice. But then I see people saying they want to have children. Sorry guys, but this is not in your cards.

Never get married. Everyone knows the problem there. Women are 70% likely to divorce you and take half your net worth with them, and force you to give them free shit for a few years afterward. This is bad.

But if you have a kid with a woman, even if you don't get married, you're in a far worse spot than that. If you fail to make child support payments, you go to prison. Let that sink in for a bit fellows.

If you have a child with a woman, you are her indentured servant. Not for 7 years. For 18 years. Oh wait, unless your precious love child decides to go to college.

Did you know that when your child reaches the Age of Majority (usually 18), if you want to stop making child support payments, you have to go to court to ask the judge to kindly let you stop making payments? And the judge can say no. You can end up paying child support for many more years. I am not sure if there really is a cut-off, though practically it's usually 22-24.

So your love child is a bare minimum 18-year indentured servitude, with another 4-??? years depending on the whims of a judge when you decide you want to stop paying.

NEVER. EVER. HAVE. CHILDREN.
