In the 70s and 80s, my grandmother, a single mother working as a dental hygienist, raised 8 kids and put them all through college. Today I wouldn't be able to afford to raise a single child with even double my current income. So maybe that has something to do with it.

I want kids. I really want kids. But I can't take on that responsibility in good faith without a means to provide everything my future child deserves. It's so disheartening because I don't know if I'll ever get there.

Yours is a story I hear over and over and it breaks my heart. I’ve heard many young people say they’re not going to have children because of finances, the environment, worry for the future. Something is so wrong that that is true. I pray you’ll get there and I think that you will

What’s so shocking is that republicans nor democrats care. They only care about the bottom line and profits.
