Youth unemployment crisis

I'm 28 and I don't have children and don't want children until I'm in my 30's but I see kids as young as 18 - 21 with one child or two, I just don't understand how they able to survive financially on a month to month basis

The problem of having children when you are older, is that you can never have a click with them, as the age difference is far too great. If you are say 23, and have a child, by the time your child is an adult, say 21, you are then 43. You can relate to your child and your child can relate to you, because the adult age gap is small.

Lets say that you decide to have a child at 40, then when the child is an adult, you are 60 years old, your vision of life is very different from your child, and it becomes more difficult to relate.

I am 46 and my daughters are 13 and 11. We relate perfectly well, maybe too well, could it be that I am a kid at heart. To be honest, I would love to have another 2 daughters, but I agree that it is too late now and I also think that it would be impossible to give them the life they deserve financially.
