You can afford to have kids

This post was inspired by @Bigfoot on SG

A lot of couples in the Western World appear to be refraining from having children because they 'cannot afford' it. In other words, they claim to be afraid of the financial repercussions. Allow me to lay out why they have no reason to be afraid.
First, kids take forever. In biology class, we are taught that a pregnancy lasts nine months or forty weeks. If we account for early births and the time it takes for a pregnancy test to be reliable, we are left with seven months, or thirty weeks, as a conservative estimate. This gives the expecting couple a lot of time to move house and/or find a job.
In terms of jobs, seven months is enough time to complete some vocational training programs, thereby getting a decent job by the time Junior comes into the world. Alternatively, basic training at the United States Army takes ten weeks, so you could be done with a specialization training before the child is born. The general training time is similar in most armies. If you don't feel like getting your brains blown out for the military-industrial complex / Deep State / whomever, then pick a specialization that doesn't involve combat. Every Army also has mechanics, medics, cooks, supply clerks, et cetera ad nauseam. As a bonus, these specializations tend to translate to private sector skills. Heck, you could just get an entry-level position flipping burgers somewhere. If you show up on time, sober, and you do your job properly, you will get promoted within seven months. I talk to shift managers all the time, and people with their act together are worth their weight in gold.
But what about finding a place to live? That's also doable. Because you have a lot more than seven months to sort this one out. Children don't really remember anything from the first three years of their life. I do not know much of anything about homesteading and that sort of stuff, and it varies by country, but you got three years and seven months for research. Ditto homeschooling.
There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. You can afford kids. Do not be afraid. The reason our blessed Lord always said to not be afraid is not because we should be reckless, but because worldly fears are fake and pathetic. If I missed any major concerns, please let me know.
