The America I was promised growing up is not the one I’m experiencing at 26 and it’s really disheartening

I was so excited to have kids when I was younger but now (and I work at a fortune 100 company so I make decent money) but how the FUCK can I afford a damn kid let alone TWO?!? I was supposed to spend my 20s traveling but even that’s fucked.. it’s like I can’t LIVE bc I’m so worried about saving bc of how uncertain the future is rn and it’s scary and draining asf

Yeah, being a woman at 26, I feel my biological clock ticking already, and I want a baby so bad, but life is so expensive and I don’t feel right bringing a kid into this world rn

Gotta become a cool auntie or unc to the community lol. Easier for women to do though. But we gotta have more of a village mindset to raising kids anyway, it’s two much for two people especially in this economy
