What % of children provide a positive ROI?

As far as I can see the chances are slim,

the pure cash cost is £150,000-250,000, $350,000 average per child from 0-18,

then 40-50% of young adults still live with their parents till 25, 30 is 10% but they're still charging their parents and will take the inheritance,

Then there is the time cost which is pretty hefty,

at a median wage of $12 usd,
157680 hours for a child 0-18, say you work for 2% of that: 3153 hours: 37,843 in time spent, then there is the foregone income, totalling 75,686. 4% would be double that $150,000 loss per child + $350,000 running costs

Then there are chances of having a fuckup, teen pregnancy, criminal, faggot, transgender, disabled, idiot, musician,


Seriously, what the fuck. Unless you have millions to throw away what the hell are you doing?
