I think what he was saying is, if you don't work and attempt to support a family your poverty level will be high and you will all unfortunately suffer. But with a job, the poverty goes away and your suffering eases greatly. Thus it's not the fact that its cheaper to support a family when you have a job; it is the fact that money does, in this case, equal happiness. Thus a job is worth it.So it's cheaper to support a family when working? What's the logic?
