Kid Me Not

The American Dream failed millennials and Gen Zersโ€”even DINKs earning over $100,000 say they canโ€™t afford kids.

Hell, we earn around 4x that much and it’d be a stretch including cost for college to have a kid. Don’t get me wrong, we could do it! We earn a lot. This isn’t some sob story. But it would mean we’d have to retire later or not at all, and have far less money for emergencies and the like. Child care in this area is something like $2,000 a month.

I truly do not know how people do it. Makes me glad neither of us have ever wanted kids.

Settling

When I was younger, I didn’t realize I was mildly unsettling to be around and that this was because I was simultaneously very relaxed while at the same time being, for lack of a better term, coiled. Most people have never been around a person who is both chill and ready to pounce.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to conceal the hypervigilance aspect of my personality but in reality it’s always there and always will be. I don’t mind it. My “relaxed” is not like other people’s “relaxed” and that’s ok.

But I will never wear headphones in public.
