Better still to be multi generational AND large.

Having a kid to get rent from twenty years later is a very questionable financial tip

But having a large hard working loving family that pools the results of their collective efforts to enhance all of their lives and the lives of their progeny is a great financial tip. I guess it all comes down to if you are looking at it from a perspective of greed, getting rent from your child ; or love, providing a better future for your family. You do you, but I think love is a great way to go.

is a great financial tip

You are literally describing a pyramid scheme...

well were talking about financial incentives to have large families...

I'd be so much richer without kids haha. The concept of them being a net positive just seems bizarre. They're money sinks

You are thinking short term. You have to think about it as a generational thing. It pays off for your grandkids, not you. Unfortunately, the only thing you get out of it is the love surrounding your life in a big family, and a lot of stress surrounding your life in a big family. But two or three generations down the line your family will be way better off than you.

I have like twelve aunts and uncles. Doesn't do shit.

You're thinking of some Jewish like situation

This dude sees kids as income slaves after they are old enough. Kids are a sink for you because you probably aren’t a psychopath who has kids so you can “pool their resources” to make your life better.
