If having kids causes you to be poorer what would the results look like?

The reality is that the more kids you have the worse you are at capitalism: You can't work as much, you can't take on more demanding jobs and you'll make life choices that are less lucrative to care for the kids.

Can only speak for myself, but thankfully I have no interest in more demanding, lucrative jobs to improve my stats in such a rigged and inherently evil game as modern capitalism.

Doing just well enough with a loving family sounds well-lived to me. They can keep their McMansions and rooftop wine tastings.

Yeah but you also don't get trashed at the bars every weekend and you live longer healthier life. It isn't as clear cut as you are making it. I agree being a dad has hurt parts of my career but it has probably helped other parts.
