For example saving money is good but if everyone does it then you can end up with deflation like Japan. In terms of children people do it due to biological urges without fully assessing the hit to quality of life or finances. The economy needs more workers at every point though since pensions are essentially a ponzi scheme. permalink fedilink source parent [–] alligatorSoup@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago Nope, that is not at all what I think, nor what in said. permalink fedilink source parent
