Alright guys today we are going to talk about some pretty interesting things! Today we will be talking about fatherhood and finances! Now I know that fatherhood is a topic that is highly debated, some people have fathers that are very much involved in their lives while other people haven't had the displeasure of meeting the father that abandoned them. Either way there is studies on family that show the importance of the father and some of the differences in finances between families with two sources of incomes.
The thing that I found incredibly interesting this week was one study that showed the difference in income for a family where the father and mother are both working full time jobs and paying for childcare. Now as we know that with jobs comes multiple expenses such as transportation and food. Well this study showed that on average families were making less money with two full time jobs than families that only had one of the two parents working. Many may ask how could that be, but it is certain. The costs for childcare alone can stack up quite fast, and the purchase of transportation and gas can evaporate the income from that second job.
As you can imagine mothers that are left alone with their kids, or visa-versa, have an extremely hard time providing for their kids and having to pay those expenses by themselves. Many believe that divorce is the answer when in fact divorce makes their situation much worse than what it once was. over 70% of people that divorce look back at their marriage 7 years later and admit that their marriage was savable. Please, if you are thinking about separating this holy bond, reconsider your options and your priorities and do what is best for your kids. Protect the traditional family, after all it is all that really matters.
