Here’s Why Millennials Are So Hesitant To Start Families — They Can’t Freaking Afford Them “Millennials don't love skinny jeans, avocados, or designer coffee more than kids. We just want to be able to afford to raise them.”
Don’t get me wrong; I was never under the assumption thatwouldn’t be expensive. But I guess I also assumed I’d have a decent enough job to afford them. And a safe and secure place to raise them in. And… well, you get the point.
Millennials have more student loan debt and lower-paying job prospects than the boomers who preceded us. Not to mention a housing market that is so inflated and overpriced that we would have to give up several lifetimes of avocado toast to be able to afford a down payment. It’s not that millennials don’t want to have kids . It’s just that we can’t afford them.
