Poor people don't need cars. So it saves a lot of money.
Not to mention that if you look at what the $15,000 child cost includes, it already factors in things like transportation and shelter costs. Which @ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one includes again when budgeting parental costs.
Based on his numbers, removing the duplication, this single income supporting a family of three comes out comfortably in the black. And that's with childcare costs included! If you are going to pay for childcare, why not have two incomes supporting the family of three? Now you're saving money hand over fist.
If not being able to accurately calculate costs is the reason why Canadians aren't having children... Maybe it's best to keep that out of the gene pool anyway.
