Just wanna share a little story and a little advice to those who are planning to get married -> have a kid.

Since I was very little, I never had a father figure and I was brought up in a very poor environment.

Father was missing, mum was working multiple jobs.
Lived with two sisters and we were young and broke (not dumb)

It came to the point where one time, mum wasn’t home and I was so hungry that I had to eat curry and tartar sauce with free ice water cause there was no food and no money.
I remembered when Mum used to say she wish she found $10 on the floor.
Damn wtf $10 can’t even do shit but can you see how sad it was?

Its sad. I wanted tuition back in early primary school days to do better in school. Not toys, not some bullshit, it’s fucking tuition.
But I never had the guts to ask mum since I knew we couldn’t afford it.

I feel that this childhood trauma made me who I am today. To find the need to make big money so I would never have to let my kids go through what I went through.
Lucky for me things went out this way. Imagine what I could’ve become. Bad stereotype but low income families breed lesser educated kids (not enough support from parents) and potentially mix with bad influence.
I say this cause I stayed in a very bad place, filled with druggies
And gangsters everywhere.
Do I blame them for becoming who they are? Nah, it’s lack of parenting skills and the influence in the area. You tend to become who you mix with.

That’s why rich people -> rich kids -> richer grandkids. (Not statistically confirmed but my observation)
SO the main point is.
Young parents or people who are going to get married, PLEASE.
Assess your finances. Do you have enough money to give everything you can to a kid? Tuition, music classes, or anything enriching?

If not, why the fuck are you getting a kid???
If you accidentally kena pregnant then abort it.
You say it’s a sin to abort but it’s not a sin to not give your child the best? How does that make sense?

I believe that you should work hard and save $ before having a kid, not have a kid then plan to work hard and save $
And the person you’re marrying?
Some person who doesn’t give a fuck about the future?
Fuck it just work food panda and see how?
Make sure the person has goals and already working towards it. Calculate finances and make sure you have too much.
Can you imagine your kid wanting to do better in school but you don’t have enough money to pay. Not disappointing meh?
But shit all I see sometimes are people who are planning to marry and have kids when they don’t even have a proper job. I mean idc about u but ur KIDS
I hope this tweet find its way to those are thinking of having kids not realising how big of a deal it is.

Marriage is just the beginning of the real problems. Kids are the beginning of the real $$ problems. Your cost for wedding is PRE. Not during, not POST.
If you bothered to read this tweet. Thank you.
#2cents + willing to hear criticisms
I know it’s a veryyyyyy sensitive topic.

To those who are already having kids, I hope you’ll do your best and do whatever you can, work so hard you tell yourself you can afford to pay for anything that will help your kids well being.
Don’t let your kids go through shit I did. Bits of pieces of bad memories.
Broke, hungry, no idea who the fuck is my dad, see this guy for awhile then probably another later, wishing I had better opportunities, wishing I was like other kids.

Peace https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💗" title="Wachsendes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Wachsendes Herz">
