Are you still "working 7 days a week because you want kids" with the idea that you need to have enough money saved to never work again before you actually, you know, have kids? If so, I feel like you should mention that explicitly every time you try to black pill other men here on the idea of having a family. I've never met or heard of anyone who did it that way and the fact that you're approaching it like that makes it very hard to believe you're actually serious about wanting a family. Men who want kids just get married and have kids while holding down a job and figuring it out on the way. “
Admittedly, now that forced vaccinations are almost here, I'm a lot more worried about how I'll provide for my family too. Still, "ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
Edit: Speaking of third-world hell holes, one thing that men do in actual third-world hell holes is have kids. And their kids go on with their lives, such as they are. Don't be afraid, or at least stop trying to drag other men into living in fear like you. The USA is not a "third world hell hole." Could it become one? Maybe, but that has nothing to do with having or not having kids.
I'm working 7 days a week so that I can feel comfortable having children. After the GOP had the Presidency, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court and didn't get one damn thing done, I realized exactly how much trouble we are in. Or at least White Men are in. I am in a field being decimated by diversity, H-1B, and legal immigration. My weekend work is being decimated by illegal immigration. It is a race to the bottom that I could see coming nearly 20 years ago and even I am amazed at how bad things are.
I ask men in other fields and at other companies if it is better there. It sounds like this is a national trend across any high skill field. The novice advice is to get into the trades and move to a rural area. That is my family's background and they wanted me to escape it for a reason. That wasn't even the answer 30 years ago, and all those immigrants could be trained in a few months to replace you for half the pay. The rural areas are hurting badly. I'm not saying this to black pill people, it is a fact of life. If you can make the trad dream work, awesome, but if you haven't tried living it yet, I think you (not you but anyone reading this) might be in for disappointment.
Just this weekend I heard a story about another company. There is some Federal Govt. program where if the company hires a Black female manager they get a tax break. The tax break is big enough that the company offered their managers a 5% bonus if they hired a Black female manager under them. One was hired over a team in IT and it was such a disaster that the entire team quit. No biggie to the company, they went out and brought in a bunch of immigrants and some H-1B visa workers. If it is this bad in 2021, how bad will it be by 2030? And LOL if anyone thinks you can vote in the magic guy to stop any of this. That was already done and the magic guy and his team got run over by a train.
As I said above, I do this work so I am comfortable having children. I am very K-Select. If I just spit out kids without preparing for them, like the r-select third world does, I couldn't live with the guilt. I would hate myself so much for doing that to my children. Also my body is beaten down from a few different things and manual labor is all but out the window for me. So I am trying to get myself into a position where I either don't work or work what little I can, before I have kids. Add in the reality is there is not one woman in the world who would be happy with their husband on the mend while they work their fingers to the bone, and that is what I am facing.
One of the reasons I have recommended Edward Dutton for so long is he can scientifically, and yet at the same time explain it in layman's terms, why humans are so different and why a K-Select person will not be comfortable living a r-select life. The Faustian spirit is real and I could never set my kids up for such failure and actually feel good about myself.
I think I am in a very unique situation here. I am old enough to have lived as an adult around boomers. I have stayed single and childless and "on the scene" so that I relate to young people. I probably communicate with more people under 30 that almost anyone my age. I am from a rural area with tons of rural roots, yet I live in a metro area. I could see this coming not long after 9/11 because I was already seeking out foreign people to learn more about other countries. What Roosh was doing 15 years ago, I was learning about nearly 20 years ago. I knew the USA was cooked a long time ago. So I started working 7 days a week and kept doing it, because I already had this knowledge. With all that said....
I don't share what I know on this forum to black pill anyone. I share it because I am blessed to have the knowledge and I feel it is my duty to share with other men who are struggling and asking "what do we do now?".
What do we do now? We make sure every day is used to build and fight forward because the days of ease that the boomers enjoyed are over. And at this point you are best off to just let any boomer advice go in one ear and out the other and keep fighting your battle. If you or your family are immigrants, keep one foot in the other country. It might look A LOT better over the next few years. If you are not an immigrant then baton down the hatches, because it will get bumpy and there is no running from this. It is global.
