I’m going to take Barnaby’s side on kids. I believe that he meant that they buyer should not be speculating on real estate when they have 4 kids whom they have to care for.
I feel, in many cases, people have kids for their own well being and not for the kids. Why bring more kids into the world when we can’t even provide for the ones who are already here? Why do people need others (kids, wife, husband, parents, girlfriend…) to make them happy or motivate them? Wouldn’t it be easier to find happiness and motivation from within?
The main reason people have kids is “to be happy.” That’s the wrong way to be happy. People go shopping to be happy but at least purchases can be returned.
Once children are born, they are not mistakes. They should be cherished and cared for. However, it’s better for them not to be here in the first place. Notice that I said better for them, but not necessarily for the would be parents.
