    I am supporting myself fine and I don’t want kids because I’d have to sacrifice the quality of life I’m living now. I couldn’t maintain my current quality of life financially with a kid even if time weren’t an issue.

      This is the other thing. Not every millennial is scraping by, and many simply enjoy their current standard of living.

      I have kids of my own, and I love them, but they’re a lot of fucking work and expense, and the trajectory of your life is irreversibly changed. Kids aren’t some magical “make life better” toy that exist for our amusement, like some people seem to think.
