Reality TV is killing other shows

We can all pretty much agree that Reality TV sucks. Every week there is a new show that is supposedly based in reality that hits the tube. From a financial stance reality TV is a great endeavor because there is an audience out there that loves to watch stupid people acting stupid. It also does not take a lot of effort. For most shows you have to go through the process of developing an idea and essentially be creative. With reality shows you don't have to worry about creativity. You don't have to worry about hiring writers or actors.
On the surface, it seems like a great deal but real shows that deserve to stay on don't get the chance. Shows like Chuck, Arrested Development and other creative shows don't get the chance because they don't get the length of time to build an audience.

Having children

If you talk with young people you're going to find that a lot of them are eager to grow up and some are eager to have children. But having children is not as easy as one would imagine. It was not wash when our parents had us and it is not easy today.
With the economy the way it has been for the past decade, you would have to save at least $90,000 dollars before you consider having children. Raising children is very expensive. And I know there are people out there who raise their children with very little money, but you have to think about the children for a second. Children never ask to be born, and once you've made the decision to have them you have to be prepared to take care of them. You have to give them the best of everything.
