Quint's Song - Farewell and adieu.
Do they pick up the check after dinner?
They’re also on average more intelligent, as conventionally measured. This has been a recognized trend for almost as long as IQ tests have been used.
While there are certainly exceptions, my experience tells me that single, child-free women are terribly unhappy people. They may have money in their bank accounts, but they are miserable.
not counting all those free meals/drinks over 40-50 yers...
Life has more to it than just a dollar value. Pretty shallow thinking here.
More money for them to take care of more cats later on, while they ask “where have all the good guys gone” who don’t want “well-traveled” women, while they are out of hypergamous options.
What a load of donkey snot!
We are only now just entering the stage where the first of these same single, child-less, career women are retiring, or in their dotage.
Any stats or commentary on that?
What I’ve noticed about older childless women is one day they realize the mistake they made. Without all those work relationships, they’re suddenly damned lonely. I can’t recall who said it but, “nobody on their death bed whispers, ‘I wish I’d spent more time at work.’”
“$286,000/year to raise two children in the US according”
What are those kids doing, vacationing in the Alps or the French Riviera all summer long?
Dining in fine restaurants every night of the week?
That means a couple would have to clear more than $500,000 per year if all four were to live comfortably.
This number can’t be right. I know couples who are both physicians and they don’t make that.
Almost certainly an error.
Probably $286,000 to raise them to 18 years old.
Or, they are assigning high wages to the immense time spent caring for children.
They make up the core of people supporting wokeness, animal rights, socialism, and other society killing illnesses.
Hopefully, their stock brokers will visit them in their hospital or nursing home one day!
But, they are Still Single and Childless...
guess they can leave their accrued fortune to their cats
I don’t care.
I am happy my wife decided to get married to me.
My girls got married to nice guys.
Aside from that, I don’t care what other women do. We are a free society.
Journalism is dead in the US.
There is no doubt that childless single women are wealthier on the whole than their child-rearing counterparts. No study is necessary to draw that conclusion. Are they happier though?
Richer financially, I suppose.
That’s about it, though. My husband and my children (and grandchild) make me one of the richest women around!
“This is unsurprising since on average, it takes about $286,000/year to raise two children in the US”
Propaganda.
That's ridiculous. The average household income in the US was $67,521 in 2020.
If this were true, about 0.1% of households could afford to have children.
