Of course this only applies to the ones I'm raising. the ones i have Ty raising wouldn't be hurt.

same applies with pets. I certainly don't want to set a bad example for my cat. I'm expecting some support from him when I'm older, ya know.
(I was actually going to make a similar point to yours yesterday when it became apparent to me that all the people with kids had higher numbers than my baseline quit the job tomorrow number. good example and/or extra mouths to feed.)
(I just admitted that I agree with Hank.)
