Imagine finally paying off your student debt and decide to have a baby and get slapped with way more debt, I’m good. By the time I can afford my first house, I’ll be going through menopause

right exactly. The amount they ended up paying is probably still more than most people have in their bank account. imagine you have a whole newborn baby AND immense debt.

Yesss, and god forbid they’re just born with it! Like no prenatal or genetic screenings could have prevented or intervened

It would take me 32 years working at my current salary, no taxes, no spending on anything else to be able to afford this. And I have a “good job”.

that baby was in the NICU so if it had been a home birth the chances of the baby living would be very slim
