    I keep telling my parents about my disinterest in having kids ever.

    They keep saying I’ll regret it.

    Fuck no, I’d like to keep my money for myself, fuck having kids especially in this economy.

    I want kids just can’t justify bringing them into this world when I can’t afford a house and them. I can do one or the other.

    It’s not the economy, stupid. The economy is just fine. It’s that the benefits of said economy are not getting applied to the working class.

    In my opinion, the low fertility rate is a sign that Millenials and Gen Z feel that society is not working for them and id making everyday life difficult. Why have children and make their lives, along with the lives of their children, harder?
