I don't think people expect one income to support a family anymore. Two working parents has become the norm for all but the highest earners.

But yes, two teenagers may very well need to support a family. All it takes is one broken condom and being born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

There's not a lot of upward job mobility for most people. We can't all be CEOs. Even if that teenager has aspirations for a bigger career, they'll have expenses like college tuition, books, and travel.
