      Whilst I agree with that sentiment, situations change and a person who was once well off can find themselves in a position where they have to make tough decisions between providing and saving.

      Say that to the person living in a state without a functional sex-ed in school and/or abortion is banned.

      Or as someone else commented, situations change. Believing that someone can make a plan that is guaranteed to not go awry at any point during the, at least, 18 years they have responsibility for a child is borderline delusional.

      But you still didn’t answer the question: Would you save for your pension or feed your kids?
