Who here is wealthy?

Who views children as investments?

Chinese, mexicans, Albanians and others involved in the trafficking of kids.

Mayfield, you have no experience to speak from. If people looked at the financial aspect of kids our future generations would dwindle to nothing, fast. Of course, the gov't would argue with you as their plans are based on the constant shitting-forth of new taxpayers.

All i can say is I don't have to be wealthy. My 4 year old promised he would take care of me when I got old.

Seems like a solid investment to me.

Start a website that gets thousands and thousands of members and tons of traffic. Then, sell it to a company in a foreign country. I hear people that do that make fucking mad bank!

Yeah we will see how that works out for you.

They are a financial decision, are they not? Do you not worry about how you're going to pay for things?


I'll stick to having nieces and nephews. Having kids makes absolutely no sense to me.

Having kids gave me a bit more drive to make money, and sound financial decisions that will make sure I can provide for my family. That's the main reason I work everyday at a job that I dont like, because the money is good. Would I rather not have the expenses that they require looming over me? Sure, but Id rather have kids. I'd rather have a family to look forward to going home to, and spending time with. And I'd rather work my ass off on the side to make sure that we as a family can live comfortably. Financial decisions arent necessarily investments. I didnt have kids to put money in the bank.

He fucking promised!!

Mayfield, you have no experience to speak from.

This is irrelevant. I don't have to have kids to think that it is or isn't a good decision. There are some positives to having kids, just not financial ones.

This is true, that's why I limited it solely to finances. If I include the emotional side of things, then it's not so cut and dry. Then you have the water heads that are not thinking about anything except having sex.

They have to make a new generation of serfs.

Are you still renting out multiple houses?

It isn't irrelevant though. I can't sit here and honestly tell you that dirt tracking is a waste of time, energy, health and money, because I've never done it. I see it on the service, but that doesn't give me any insight into the joy, stress, relief, or satisfaction with losing

My kids have helped me out more than a therapist ever could, I enjoy being around them (now that they're a bit older), and am shaping them to go out there and not take shit from anyone. Am I banking on a return? Not for me, but for them. So I suppose it depends on what your definition of "invest" is and how it is applied.

Clears it up some. Keep in mind as well, when I knocked my wife up, I was just excited to not use a condom. My thoughts didn't extend much past hitting the track on Friday's and Saturday's. When she got pregnant I was fucking shocked. Three times. Once I figured out the cause, I got snipped.

Think about it like volunteering, sometimes you do it for the altruism and other times you do it for self(ishness) satisfaction, but at least when they belong to you, you can whip the shit out of them.

Naah. I take it into account there and completely disregard any emotional attachment there as well. I fully well recognize and accept my bias against religion.

[Mach1]

Im SRS BRAH, for real, I'd like to hear how that worked out for you, Im thinking about renting my house and I'd like to know what i'm getting into, someone already gave me some good advice, setup autodraft for the tenant, make them pay for all repairs under $100, etc. But I would like to hear your story.

So, yes?

Sure you can. You don't have to engage in something in order to evaluate it's merits. You may not be able to evaluate the joy, stress, relief, or satisfaction of the particular action because they are subjective, but you can evaluate it based on objective terms, like health, money, and time.

I will absolutely agree with you that dirt tracking is a waste of money and time, I'm not so sure about health, as unless you get hurt in an accident of some sorts there aren't typically any adverse health issues associated with it.

Given the topic, I limit invest solely in the realm of the financial.

This doesn't surprise me at all coming from you. lol

Wait. They have to be yours before you can whip the shit out of them? Oops.
