Kids = Worthless investment?

On second thought, there is no guarantee that world will survive for more than 20 or 30 years. People are talking about World War 3. There are hundreds of Hitler and Stalin in this world. There is a meteorite/space mountain 35 km wide and 10 km high which can crash into Earth. There is Yellow stone national park massive volcano. Magnitude 10 Earthquake is waiting to strike Earth. Everybody knows about the world economy (nothing to write).

If a child is born today there is no guarantee, he/she will survive for more than 20 or 30 years.
 
Kids are good investment if they are successful, that used to be the incentive to make sure your kids are educated, cause the more successful they the more comfortable your retirement was.

This is why people use to diversify their portfolio and have lots of kids, or why we diversify our portfolio of mates when we're younger

You diversify till the risk matches the reward, it's the beauty of economic/social calculation which has been distorted by dangerous feedback loop between Government and every other institution in our lives.
 
Parent Offers Body Parts To Pay Off Child's $200,000 Student Loans

An anonymous parent in the Boston area recently posted an ad on Craigslist offering to sell their body parts to pay off their child's student loans.

The ad detailed a person 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds with "organs in working order." The writer offered blood, plasma, kidneys in place of the $200,000 in education bills.

"Use my body for anything legal, or medically experimental," the advert said. "Simply pay off all of my children's student loans ($200,000) and you can use me anyway you need."

That doesn't mean kids are a bad investment, that just means government loans have made schooling to expensive and credit to cheap


Which can lead to Dropping Birth Rates and Emmigration

 
Kids are an awful investment financially, which is actually a good thing for libertarians.

It serves as a reminder to those who say that a free society would go to shit since everybody will be pursuing their own economic interests, leaving the poor and sick to die in the streets. Humans are complex and we don't always do things that simply maximize our economic returns.
 
Kids do not cost all that much. That is a myth. I should know, I come from a family of nearly a dozen siblings.

I am not exaggerating when I say this, but I bet you spend more on vices than I spend on my kid. I know for a fact that my old stoner buddies spend more on kind bud a month than I spend on my kid. I know for a fact that MILLIONS of Americans spend WAY MORE on booze a month than I spend on my kid.

As far as that student loan link you posted... today's parents are idiots. I am not raising a kid for 18 years, so that I have to take care of him past 18 and donate organs to pay off his loans. I am raising an adult. By the time my child is 18 he will be more mature than 30-year-olds. One of the primary reasons are country went down the crapper is because 1.) parents just "want my kid to have a better life than I did," and 2.) and everyone believes that "they need a good childhood" or "just let them be kids." The end result is that we have college kids who are so spoiled and immature that it makes me sick. As somebody who moved out when I was 16, I can honestly say that I was more mature at 17 than 99% of my fellow classmates are at graduation.
 
They're a lot of work, but you get a great deal of emotional satisfaction from being with your child and playing with them. The logic of the OP means that roller skating, recreational fishing, listening to music, and gardening are all worthless investments.
 
In third world economics - you kick out as many as you can in the hopes that one will live long enough to take care of you in your old age.

In post TEOTWAYKI economics - - hay it's another gatherer and finger on the trigger - as well as eyes out there watching your back

GREAT INVESTMENT! - PRICELESS even!
 
People don't have children for economic reasons, they have children because they love their spouse and want to start a family together.
 
"It's never the right time to have kids, but it's always the right time for screwing. God's not a dumbshit. He knows how it works." -Shit My Dad Says :)
 
The largest expenses involved in child rearing are medical care and education. Everything else is trivial. And those two items are expensive because government and the banks pour vast quantities of new money directly into those points in the economy through loans and subsidies. In a truly free market, kids would be an economic asset.

And the amusement value of kids ages 6 months through about ten years is huge. After that, maybe not so much.
 
Visit your local project area, and they'll tell you the more kids you have, the more money you make.

The human greed to develop very fast and competition has led to the downfall of world economy ultimately. Example, if there is 200 storey building, you will reach the top of the building by elevator/lift or staircase. If you use elevator you reach the top in 2 minutes and then you have to come down. If you use staircase, you reach the top in 2 hours and then you come down. If the world factories would have been working for 12 hours a day only for past 50 to 100 years, then only 50% of world's resources would have been consumed today. The world economy would have easily survived for another 100 years without any problem. There would have been no financial crisis and multi-trillion bailouts for next 100 years and more.

World people consume/eat 4.4 billion Tons food per year, equivalent/equal to weight of 8,800 world trade center buildings (WTC 9/11)

Worldwide oil production for year 2010 was 30 billions of barrels.

Some 7 billion tonnes of coal is produced worldwide per year which is equal to weight of 14,000 world trade center buildings (9/11)

Search in google for "european sex videos" and similar words and you will understand why "human beings are breeding like rats". 5,200 Pentagon Employees Purchased Child Porn.

The Bible do not lie, is the word of God. This world should give rise to the kingdom of Christ, the “cleaning” is painful, but Jesus will restore everything. Who want to go with Him? Repent and join to Christ that you will have living with the eternal God, righteous and loving, the Lord of all the law of life, of love and peace, the true Light.

Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, -they break out; and blood toucheth blood. For this shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." (Hosea, 4:1-3)

Ash is rich with nutrients and helps in better growth of the forest. To provide ash to the forest, rotten and fallen woods and some good trees have to be burned. There cannot be ash without a fire and fire does not distinguish between anything and anybody.
