    “Is that hundred grand a gift… or a loan?”

    Neither, it’s an obligation. You don’t get to choose whether or not to provide for your children as you would a gift, nor can you expect a “return” on your “investment”.

      All true. But it’s in response to Calvin talking about electing a new dad, which also isn’t a realistic view of things

      Yeah but I make 100% more money now than I did in 1987.

        Unfortunately the math on that would suggest you’re still 300% behind, since 500k is a 400% increase of 100k.
