# Ah but
The average cost of raising a child to the age of 21 is £186,032

So if you don't have kids and invest £186k you'll have a nice fat private pension pot.

If you dont have kids you pay @ 40% more tax than someone who does have kids

# Government hypocrisy
They're paying people to pollute, there should be a green tax on ppl who have kids
