This is always the question and the answer is two point.

First, that’s an incredibly selfish reason to have kids. I won’t be taking care of anyone into their old age as payment for being born.

Secondly, I’ll pay a nurse to take care of me with all the money I have from not having kids. It’s crazy what compound interest will do when you’re not broke with 3-4 kids.
