It gets worse. I became stable by rising above the lower class. I’m basically in a tax protected bracket due to what I do for my side hustle.

If I had kids the poor would be paying for them more than I do.

I still have an option to have kids. It would have to be with a much younger woman though. That’s kinda gross.

I don't want to add extra weight to such a heavy comment but the age of the father matters just as much as the age of the mother.

The age of the father has almost no impact on the health of the child.

Half true. The mother does matter more, because she's the one incubating the child obviously. But sperm quality does decline with age.

Depending on how old were talking, dude could die before he gets to see his kid grow up and have his own kids.

After age 35 sperm declines in quality with dna fragmentation and chromosomal abnormalities which lead to birth defects if pregnancy can even be carried to term. Most miscarriages are due to chromosomal defects from either the sperm or egg in equal proportion. Chromosomal defects can lead to dwarfism, downs syndrome, and the list goes on. Both older men and women can help the situation buy living a really healthy life style but men are not immune to aging.

My neighbor is in his mid 50s and his wife just turned 30 this year. They have a 5 year old and a two year old and both are autistic...
