How poor are you now? Would you like to be even poorer? If you’ve read the section of this book on career and Poe-sonal finance, then you know that the Poes scraped by on his patchy freelance income and grueling, low-wage editorial jobs—so low-wage that they were sometimes scarcely able to eat. You have to think any further strain on their finances might’ve sunk them altogether. Consider, too, that as expensive as child-raising might’ve been in the mid-1800s, there’s no doubt it’s more expensive now. Not only have pesky child labor laws emerged to prevent you from hiring out your kids at the mill, bringing in some extra cash, but Poe and Virginia were never going to have to fork out for Tae Kwon Do lessons, STEM camp, and/or SAT-prep classes. Even if you believe such bougie concerns are nice-to-haves, not need-to-haves, diapers alone may break the bank. A newborn will soil up to a dozen pricey Pampers a day. And your economic obligation doesn’t end at the potty-training stage. If the trend of prolonged adolescence and late-blooming continues, you may be looking at a financial commitment equivalent to a thirty-year mortgage beyond any other debt you may be carrying. Plus an unshaven twenty-something perpetually occupying that guestroom you’d really prefer to use as a home gym.
