Financial literacy is astonishingly scarce in today's society. People think they can afford things (like kids) that they can't afford. And when it comes to sex, people aren't thinking with their heads (if you know what I mean)
I agree; financial literacy IS astonishingly scarce these days. That's exactly my point. People don't REALLY think these things through. Many couples have a kid because they want WANT A KID, they want a family... without doing some of the required math behind it.
