Okey, so now we’re back in the hypothetical. So you’re saying that even if you were living paycheck to paycheck and and had to choose between saving and giving your kids food at the end of the month you would still choose to save?
Whilst I agree with that sentiment, situations change and a person who was once well off can find themselves in a position where they have to make tough decisions between providing and saving.
Say that to the person living in a state without a functional sex-ed in school and/or abortion is banned.
Or as someone else commented, situations change. Believing that someone can make a plan that is guaranteed to not go awry at any point during the, at least, 18 years they have responsibility for a child is borderline delusional.
But you still didn’t answer the question: Would you save for your pension or feed your kids?

Don’t have kids if you can’t afford them.
