Hey fella back in the day people were less materialistic. Less Wants!! Yea, the sad thing is there is les educated people out there. All they can get is the crap pay at walmart style jobs. If people budget correctly nowadays then it can happen. The reason is these woman are shitting out babies left and right and then they dont have and sort of income to support themselve. That makes society look bad. A family of 4 with a mom and dad and two kids can live very comfortable. Dad works full time. Mom stays home and cooks all meals, not eating out! Mom does all the housework, takes care of kids. Makes sure kids are doing well in school. Limited electronics. Dont give a damn 8 year old a cell phone. You dont need to live in a 200,000 dollar hosue. Take modest vacations. I have know plenty of 4 member families that do this. Its works. The reason society says that both parents have to work is because everyone is so damn materialist. "Everyone has to have and Iphone 6+" "Everyone has to drive a BMW, Lexus, ect....." "Everyone has to go on 10,000 dollar vaction" It is completely doable.
Tell you what. I work full time and I make a decent salary with me degree. I am single. I own nice 125,000 dollar house. I make all ends meet and money is left over every pay period. Just add a wife and a few kids. Yes there are extra expenses with kids and a woman at home. But you eat out less. You do without Wifi and HBO. You have a cell phone with no internet.
It just pisses me off that people think oh to have a good life you have to have both spouses working in the household to make ends meet. It worked just fine in the 20th century. We just need more Leave it to Beaver and Andy Griffith and less all the other **** out there.
