George Kamel: 本视频探讨了人们选择不生育或推迟生育的原因,其中成本是一个重要因素。越来越多的家庭选择不生育,2022年这一比例达到43%,比十年前增长了7%。一项调查显示,59%的双收入无子女家庭将财务问题作为主要原因。许多人认为养育孩子的成本太高,包括医疗费、托儿费、教育费、生活费等,需要赚取足够的钱才能负担得起。此外,住房成本也是一个重要因素,许多人认为需要先买房才能生育。一些人选择不生育是因为他们喜欢目前自由的生活方式,而另一些人则是因为经济压力。养育一个孩子到18岁平均需要花费31万美元,这笔费用可能会给家庭带来巨大的财务压力。然而,视频也鼓励人们不要因为金钱而放弃生育,应该制定计划,设定目标,并努力实现它们。在生育前建立一个充分的紧急基金,这会让你更有安全感,减少压力。制定预算可以帮助你更好地储蓄。在生育前享受你的生活,但不要浪费时间。养育孩子会让你更加无私地对待金钱,更少关注自己,更多关注孩子的需求。不要因为别人的意见而影响你自己的生育决定。如果你想要孩子,不要因为金钱而等待,你会找到办法的。
