The problem with modern family structure in traditional family, if both are relatively in 30s,the chance of more than 1 kid is nill, if both are relatively in 20s, the problem of <kids is avoided but now the problem is having enough compounding of savings before children college!

The previous generations avoided this by ensuring age gap of 10 to 15 years between the genders during marriage so that an even a poor man has chance at providing good education or business to next generation all be it limited than the wealthy

This is no more possible in modern times, the govt compensates by providing free education and health in developed countries

However even in developed countries the measures did not inspire confidence and people are marrying in later ages clearly

In india people marry early often without deep thought due to the social dynamics etc and material discover these problems

There is no simple solution, an upper middle class person can forego some life goals like buying house car etc and instead take care of children education but same not possible in lower middle class and working class clearly where the only option is to depend on luck

The alternative is to provide the lesser education as feasible when kids in 18 to 25 age and if having some earned money later when kids in age of 30 to 40 help them with skill or business development or atleast for their children raising etc depending on max bang for buck!

Trying to maxise income via business when in lower age is another option but it can cause losses or backfire in terms of job security if done in salaried job

Clearly there needs to be increased awareness about atleast having 10 to 15 year saving before marriage for men!

Disclaimer, does not apply to men with wealthy background!

@freefincal any thoughts on this dynamics
