"Is that hundred grand a gift... or a loan?"
Neither, it's an obligation. You don't get to choose whether or not to provide for your children as you would a gift, nor can you expect a "return" on your "investment".

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

All true. But it's in response to Calvin talking about electing a new dad, which also isn't a realistic view of things
yeah, I know. I just get pissed off whenever I hear a parent talking like this
...and in 2024 it's pushing $500k for 18 years.
Dad, if it was a loan, how the living fuck could that even be paid back in these circumstances?
Signed,
Adult Calvin
P.S. This is why you don't have grandkids, Dad.
Seriously, like come on dad, it's not like I ever asked to be born!
Yeah but I make 100% more money now than I did in 1987.
Unfortunately the math on that would suggest you're still 300% behind, since 500k is a 400% increase of 100k.
