    It's true that without money, you shouldn't have a kid

    My friend is a teacher and she says that polarization is really bad these days. Pretty and handsome kids are good at studying, have outgoing personalities, and come from wealthy families.. The problem is that these kids are 10-20%, not 80% of the population. It's true that high-income earners get married and have children, but that high-income class itself can never rise above the lower class. Married people go viral saying that only wealthy people get married... Of course, that's true, but there are far more average to poor families than those people

    When you talk about kids, how old are we talking about? First of all, everyone around me has no money. They all work two part-time jobs and can't find real jobs, so they all feel like d*ing (I'm 24). Seriously, I'm even saving up money to go to Daiso right now. And if kids these days had a lot of money, the city would be bustling. The economy is so bad that I can't even make plans to go drinking right now. The city in my neighborhood used to be crowded and there were always waiting lines before COVID, but after COVID, it's been really empty. And there weren't many people at Suwon Station either. I went there last weekend in the evening, and I'm not lying, it was so quiet that I was surprised

    It seems that high-income families have a high birth rate that makes up for the high proportion of kids here…

    Are they making up the criteria with these ranks? ㅋㅋ
