      realizing I’ll never be able to afford them

      realizing I’ll never be able to afford them without sacrificing the slightest inch of my current lifestyle

      FTFY

      I don’t fault you. You do you. Just stop blaming the economy.

      People have been willingly having children through times tougher than anything you have or ever will experience.

      You just don’t want kids. And that’s fine.

      Just stop scapegoating the economy.

        It’s it that they don’t want kids as in no matter what they are never having kids… or they only don’t want them because of economy…etc. I took it as they do not want kids under any circumstances.

          Well in the usa at least, the birth rate started to drop after the 2009 meltdown. That also when young people that are most likely to start a family couldn’t afford it. Survey data from the 60s until today shows very little in how many know da people want.

          So ueah its like 90% money
