A 2021 study by the Census revealed that childless adults age 55 and older had a median net worth of $153,900 compared to $130,400 for biological parents.
Me too, kids made my life so much better, but oof I hate when people push their lifestyle on others, child free and natalist proselytizers can both fuck off. We aren’t going to run out of people, or get too many, you can see it adjusting even now. It seems so normal for people in a crowded world to want fewer kids, and slow birth rate is so much nicer than war or plague as a way to control population.
Don’t mind me. I’m the weirdo that legit loves being a parent.
Shocked you haven’t been downvoted a ton. Lemmy really hates anyone who wants to have children.
I downvote broad generalizations
I’ll try not to generalize broads then

I’m happy for you! We all take different paths in life and it’s great you enjoy yours.
I think I would love being a parent too but I can’t come up with a single non-selfish reason I would reproduce in this day and age
