You don't need to spoil kids with the best possible education, day care and shit they don't even need.
Today's parents are too much. Our generation didn't even have half the stuff that today's kids do, we still did alright.
Homeschooling is a great and realistic option that most people don't even consider. They just want to justify breaking their backs without even asking their own family if they need all that extra money and privileges.

South Korea also suffers the problem of foreign brides. Since most Korean women are well educated and now participate in workforce(which is good thing), the marriage rate has declined since women no longer need to marry a man for survival.
As a consequence many Korean men marry poor women from neighbor countries. These women learn Korean, learn how to cook n all. There are even coaching centres for. Families of these women charge money for marrying off their daughters.
Downside being these women are treated like a commodity and often times are victim of domestic violence.
