I believe there needs to be balance. Like I said, there is an incentive to work more: two fulltime jobs, buy a $500-$700 house, and disqualify for Medicaid so I can pay for my own health insurance. That way I can have a home that will be my childrens' inheritance or available to me as equity for when I need it. But there's not much of a reason living close to parents or having children if the only place I am at is work. I think one fulltime job is enough.
