Maybe not what you want to hear, but that was exactly my concern when it came to starting a family. That's why I opted for a childless life.
Unfortunately, I'm very much part of a bubble when it comes to families - mom & dad are academics and possibly still have a little starting capital from their parents. At least there it feels as if nobody has to do without anything and the wealth can still be built up. Although I don't think all that glitters is gold. But of course life becomes more difficult as long as real wage losses are the order of the day. And of course you feel it all the more as a family ...

Thank you for your answer.
Yes, the problem is that we're doing without a lot and it just feels like it's getting harder and harder. Some of my salary increase is evaporating due to the tax.
I understand that you made that decision. Of course, I don't just see having children as a financial burden. All in all, it's very nice and positive to be able to raise children. You get something back that can't be expressed in money. But it's still hard.
Bus tickets to school alone, school supplies, birthdays here, new shoes there. That swallows up a lot.
Exactly, the loss of real wages and e.g. taxation of dividends etc. simply hurts. You hardly stand a chance.
