Costs for raising a kid today, 250 grand per kid.

That’s a real factor.

"Costs for raising a kid today, 250 grand per kid."

That's scare propaganda. Straddling the 20th-21st century, my husband and I raised 2 kids on orders-of-magnitude less than that.

One paid for his own post-secondary education, the other did not go to college. That's probably the biggest factor.
