dad4papa2 you are right as far as some people. My son is now 41 years old and has just stopped paying child support for his first 2 children. He is remarried and supporting a wife, stepson and 3rd child of his own. When these last 2 have graduated from college, he may be able to start saving some money. After years of child support, it's now time to upgrade his own living situation, purchase a reliable (not new, just better) car. He will be at least 58 years old when the youngest would graduate from college.
I respect that he actually paid his child support, because so many do not/ On the other side though, he did make these children. Nobody held a gun to his head.
My wife and I purposely had an only child as we felt we could not afford any more than one.
