"...These people will have nobody to take care of them when they’re old..."

Having children as an “insurance policy” for old age is not a guarantee.
The child might become a drug addict who overdoses and predeceases his or her own parents.
Maybe the kid is just selfish, moves away, and rarely speaks with his or her folks. Children are not always completely reliable.

Really?

People die? I didnt know that

Consider this. This generation is having a non replacement level amount of kids

Who is going to pay taxes to take care of them when they are old. Who is going to keep the economy going at such a rate as to not only counteract obama’s additional 10 trillion to the prior 10 trillion, but to keep an IRA and a 401 K afloat?

Money doesnt grow on trees. Theres an old one for ya

I certainly know that children are not reliable. However they can be your best bet.

that is why it is smart to have a brood. Usually one or two turn out ok.
