Did we get half a million after the birth of the child? We haven't, and we don't know when we will!

"Did you withdraw money from the state?" - a question that everyone, from neighbors to relatives, asked us. And our answer, the same every time: "We haven't. And we don't know when we will."

It would have to go in the opposite direction, starting with the long-term interest of our children and then unwinding
