Potential wasted is a sad thing to see in any endeavor life has to offer. The couple should be counseled on risk/reward and the benefits from same. But we have people who say, “why work, I can get the benefits now and they are free.”
This leads to crime. The crime I’m referring to is committed by those who see welfare as a means to be elected to office and give taxpayer monies to those who are willing to take them. In that area, we are definitely not “OK!”
DINKS are in a sweet spot.
One can take the safety net job to be able to let the other one swing for the fences.
