What we’re talking about: The complex question of whether or not to have children, focusing on how this decision can impact individuals' sense of agency, particularly in relation to aspects of health, wealth, and time.
Why it matters: This topic is essential in pursuing agency as it involves a life-changing decision that requires careful consideration of personal circumstances, societal constructs, and potential future regrets.
What actions to take:
👪 Consider having children under certain conditions: when you're married, financially stable, and when both parents are under 40.
💰 Understand that while raising children can be expensive, married parents often end up wealthier due to factors such as home ownership.
