Children are a lifestyle choice a financial choice. I always have it's easier for me to retire don't have kids, and yeah it's true. My life is so much easier. I get to spend my entire evenings my business. wait in the school pick up and drop off line. to feed anyone except myself. in every single weekend. I don't have to for someone I get to focus on my financial independence and my happiness first, That was an intentional choice want to live life, and children would, quite frankly, ruin life. I don't like kids? No, I love kids. If life wasn't such a hellscape. consider adoption. But I just refuse to be trapped raising the next generation for this system. I want to get in, and get out

Children are a lifestyle choice as much as they are a financial choice. That doesn’t mean they are the wrong choice, you just need to be content with the significant sacrifices so you don’t resent those who make different choices. I wasn’t content with the sacrifices, so I chose to not have them.
