Couple of q's, how much do you think you'd need to afford a kid? I feel like my mindset around this might be wayyy too high. I grew up in an immigrant family where nobody was home until 8PM, the food was essentially whatever was cheap and quick. Not every healthy and mostly processed. So my idea of having kids requires being able to feed kids the same as what I am eating now. Then if I add all that up the numbers don't make sense.

In regards to SKIP and UBER, from 2020 to 2021, me and my brother did that after work for fun. We were using 3 phones and doing multiple orders at once and managed to average $45/hour for the dinner rush hour every night. This died down to about $30 - 35/hour and wasn't worth it for us anymore considering gas and car depreciation. But it was pretty cool to pocket $120 - 150 extra every night which added up to around extra $400 - 800/week working 3 hours a night 3-5 days a week.

I know there are tons of immigrants that are grinding Uber Eats 7 days a week and clearing $2k/week working 65 hours. Uber driver averages $35/hour and is probably better but when you get that ride for a pick up on 318 East Hastings LOOL.
