I don't know.  Wouldn't being better off financially be almost a universal leg up when having a child?  It can let you focus on raising the child rather than just surviving and possibly neglecting him/her as you try to make ends meet with multiple jobs or crappy 3rd shift jobs that don't pay enough.

There's no pricetag for happiness. Are millionaires better parents? If I make 60k a year am I better raising my children than my neighbor who makes 40k? Where do you draw the line, is 15k a shit tier where there is no hope? Does pocket full of cash mean the parent has better ability to understand the needs of his/her child?

It is an arrogant assumption, where being financially weaker means automatically neglecting the child. If we go by that logic, the majority of the world is mistreating their children. There is a lot of families who cannot afford a PS4, does that mean they are bad parents or that their children live a miserable life?

You might have all the money but still, what does that matter if both of the parents happen to die in a car accident? How do the better circumstances at Day 0 work out in the end? A doctor can call you and tell you will lose your vision, or tell you have cancer, or you have Parkinson? Nothing is guaranteed.

Years and years, it has been a common phrase, money does not bring happiness but suddenly it is the x-factor. People can count on money, I never will, never did, found my own way.

edit: bad english, I guess
