My wife and I were married for 9 years without children. During all that time, my employer had 2 options for health insurance coverage, "self", and "family". I always advocated that they provide an option for "self plus one" so that those who choose not to have children don't have to subsidize those that do.
So of course, now that my wife and I have kids, the big announcement comes out - self plus one is now available, and rates for familes just went up 25%. So for all these years, I had the priveledge of subsidizing those with kids, but now that that I have them, I don't get any of that subsidizing back.
Same thing with student loans. As soon as I finished paying mine off (10 years of payments), my employer announces a "student loan repayment program" for employees.
The year after I bought my house, the government offers the $8,000 tax credit to first time homebuyers.
Is it just me, or does it seem like this stuff always happens. HAHA! - I'll probably get to 59-1/2, and then the government will announce that Roth IRA's now have to pay taxes on withdrawals. Right when I'm about to hit 62 years old, I'm sure the government end the Social Security/Medicaire programs. My employer will probably cancel all pensions right before I retire as well!
