I really want a kid, because without one, my family name and line will die out after I die, which is kind of a dumb thing to be concerned about, but, yeah. I can't afford one, and don't think I'll ever be rich enough to afford a kid.

I can't afford one, and don't think I'll ever be rich enough to afford a kid.I don't see where this is coming from. Yes, it might be difficult to raise a child on a low income but it is still possible. Ask all the single parents out there with low paying jobs. They make it work. There are so many things which people just don't need to raise a child but they buy it because either everyone else is doing it or because they've been told they need it when they really don't. Raising a child doesn't have to be as expensive as everyone makes it out to be. However, you do have to sacrifice a lot more than if you are raking in the big bucks. Maybe that's it? As the youngest kid from a single parent home, let me just say that there is a difference between being able to afford a kid, and being able to get by. Being able to afford a kid means you provide them with food, shelter, clothing, shoes, and love, as soon as and every single time that they need it. It's really easy to find that that is not possible on every salary.

Ajahya nailed it.

Ajahya nailed it.A lot of people are using this as a cover for not actually wanting children though. It's much the same as the large number of Koreans that can't 'afford' to get married. Meaning they can't get married in an expensive hall, buy a house straight off and then have kids right away. None of those things have much to do with actually getting married however. (I say that as a guy who has paid for three weddings to the same woman...)It's not that most people can't afford children but that they can't afford children and the lifestyle they are accustomed to. There's nothing actually wrong with doing this as I agree with people on the 'what you don't have kids and are married crowd' being one of the more annoying sub-groups of humanity.

I can't afford one, and don't think I'll ever be rich enough to afford a kid.I don't want to raise kids and I feel I am too broke to have kids too. I don't care about my last name but I really want my genes in the human gene pool. It is the only true way we can leave an everlasting impact on this planet.Edit: Additionally, if anyone ever needs a man juice donor send me a message.

They aren't willing to sacrifice their lifestyle for kids ( or marriage).

Possibly becuase they got married on paper, then in Korea, then in his home country. Which is what I'm currently doing lol. two out of three down,. Is that right Loki88?
What the ****, so it's common practice for them to re-use food served to other customers? I never really ate out very much to begin with, but now...
We don't throw away leftover ingredients because I'm always in the kitchen and tightly control the use, so my cooks surely get a lot of stress. But we try to use the ingredients efficiently...I can reduce costs

"We don't throw away leftover ingredients because I'm always in the kitchen and tightly control the use, so my cooks surely get a lot of stress. But we try to use the ingredients efficiently. I became meticulous with accounting from my previous experience at brand-owned restaurants. Since I have built a network where I can buy high-quality ingredients at lower prices, I can reduce costs," he said.
CO2,Not sure how or why you think I misquoted him.I copied and pasted the quote, then reduced the length of the quote with a triple-dot glyph for relevance. Furthermore, I then added a hyper-link of the actual article.If I had been trying to manipulate a quote, why on earth would I attach a link to the article?Go stuff yourself!
