The idea is to provide a better life to your kids than you had, otherwise what was the point in subjecting a child to a lesser life. That's what people complain about now, boomers had it better (financially).
You’re telling me the people having “10 kids during the Great Depression” were doing it because they thought their kids would have a better life than themselves during the worst economic period in America?
Nothing more selfish than subjecting 10 of your own children to poverty in the financial crisis because you didn't want to stop you from being responsible.
Okay but the kids born during the Great Depression did live a better lives than their parents (New Deal policies, post war boom, 50s America) so I don’t see what your point is.
If born in America, those kids then probably fought in the forgotten war, Korea. That one has quite the death toll. It was WWII, Korea, and Vietnam back to back before we finally ended conscription.

If the economy was better, I'd consider it.
