Hmm.

I could crush it solo in like 90% of these.

I'm surprised at a lot of these numbers.

 

[Dr. Truth]

That's for a single person with no kid's, for a family you need at least 300k to be comfortable in SF.

 

[sammyjax]

SF can suck a dick. Pause.

 

[Coldchi]

you can live comfortably in Atlanta with less than $60k a year.

[#blacklivesmatter]

Yes, in SF they are. I know cats making 100k+ living with 3 room mates.

 

[BDR]

[papi68]

Having a family doesn't double your spending, your food budget would increase and if only one person is working you wouldn't need child care so not much of a difference.

 

[TooTrilla]

So I suppose you would have the same car and same living conditions with a family and kids as you would single? Nah man....
Kids and a bitch cost bread.

bullshit.....having a family increases overall spending on everything from groceries to water bills, electric gas for heat.

if you have teenagers that are active then you spend more for gas ..

there isn't anything that stays stagnant being single or with family

People love to over exaggerate the cost of raising kids, unless you sending them to private school clothing and feeding them isn't that expensive. You think the majority of people with kids in San Fran are making over 6 figures? Most don't and don't live in poverty

[jagu]

Yes, in SF they are. I know cats making 100k+ living with 3 room mates.

So, it appears you're fucked since you said that you only make $200k.

 

[Flawless]

You just described the first 2 years of a kids life after that they should be potty trained and toddler doesn't eat much, raising kids is not expensive.

don't forget school registration and activity fees and supplies

camps

daughter does competitive cheerleading and that shit costs a grip

the only people that don't think kids are expensive don't have any or don't take care of the ones they have

teenagers cost more than toddlers.. whatchu mean ?

my daughter will be spending her senior year of HS going to college so fees and books aren't covered like they are by school taxes. And she needs a car .

because she is active she needs a phone and because

you must not have any kids or you are like the settlers

Kids grow and as they grow they need to cloths/shoes.

 

[TooTrilla]

That nigga Flawless aint got no kids. And if he does, nigga getting stamps, WIC, and a check talking the way he is

Like I said Flaw, you single, your living space is smaller and cheaper. You spend less on all the bills period with no family.

[Day_Carver]

Listen, for one to live comfortably it should be 100k per person in house,no matter where u live. ...

All I said was you don't need to double your income to have kids, y'all want to make it seem like you need a second job just to have a kid.

Yeah yeah, I feel you bro. Im with you on your theory of kids not costing THAT much extra when it comes to me paying child support anyways. I be trying to tell the judge the bitch dont need that much of my check.
