"Every millennial dad I'm friends with or work with seems to have constant financial worries. We just got our yearly bonus, which was like 8%. I was talking to my buddy (he's got three kids) about what he wanted to do with it, and he just kinda looked down and whispered, 'it's just not enough, man,' and ended the conversation."
"Another dad I know is CONSTANTLY looking up the newest crypto/get-rich-quick schemes people are doing. He's always talking about inventing something, and it's usually [in] a joking manner, but the way he's always bringing up financial stuff shows me it's always on his mind."
"I know children are an immense financial responsibility, but there seems to be this dark, simmering resentment about the whole general situation when I talk to these guys. Men are expected to keep quiet about these struggles, but when you talk to these guys, it's clear that finances are a massive stress for millennial dads of almost any background."
"Makes me feel bad, but damn, I'm glad I don't have kids right now."
Millennial dads are facing ongoing financial worries, often feeling that their earnings are insufficient. Conversations reveal a pervasive anxiety about money, with many dads fixated on financial schemes and responsibilities. This stress is compounded by societal expectations for men to remain silent about their struggles. The sentiment among these fathers indicates a deep-seated resentment regarding their financial situations, highlighting the challenges of parenting in today's economy. Many millennials express relief at not having children, reflecting on the burdens of financial responsibility.
