It really is.

Marrying and procreating (heirs, legacy) is literally the point of life; it’s how you leave a mark. Sorry sweetie, nobody is going to remember your projects and spreadsheets at work.

The. why is the richer and wealthier people are the less children they have? or more likely to have no children to begin with???

The data doesn’t reflect what you’re saying and only regular and poor people think procreating is leaving a legacy. LOL!

that isn't true.. or actually it proves truth: the truly wealthy have more in common with the "lower" classes than the working middle classes. The truly wealthy- people with family offices, huge business types who actually do make a mark on the world also have a lot of kids. The musks, gates, Vanderbilts, Gettys of the world have heirs- its the professional well paid working class who have fewer children and are focused on their 'careers' b/c they have to earn their life-style.

You're so so wrong. And it clear you're getting your ideas of the wealthy from tv shows such as succession and stereotypes.

Elon Musk said the opposite of what you said and he's the wealthiest man in the world.

People on this forum are obsessed with trying to figure out how the wealthy and rich people live and how they signal status.

The vast majority of Americans are not close to any wealthy people so they don't know how the wealthy truly live. They only go off of stereotypes and hearsay. It's pathetic when you think about it.

In my personal experience most who married young are still married, fee divorced. Most who married later had more issues and quite a few divorced. When you have grown, you are more set in your ways and less likely to change for other person. When you are young, you often grow together. Some people are more flexible when they are older and lost their prime peak but there are no fixed age dependent rules.

The data doesn’t support what you’re saying.

Np from what I understand divorce rates are pretty much the same if married between 25-35 and are about equally higher for people younger or older than that. And this is based on age, alone. Genuinely curious if there are updated stats on this or if there is a study that focuses on wealthy married couples, specifically.

To me, it doesn’t really make logical sense that a wealthy, educated person married at 26 would be more likely to divorce than a 36yr old in the same position.

Then you’re not very bright.

With age, no matter the SES comes wisdom, maturity and a level of understanding of life and relationships. Common sense should tell you that but common sense isn’t that common.

Furthermore, A 26 year old’s brain has just finished fully developing.

People who get married in their 30s are less likely to divorce than people who get married in their 20s which makes sense. Not sure why you don’t think it makes logical sense.

NP, but it's pretty rich to begin a comment with "you're not very bright" and then go off in a direction that's unsupported by the data. Data from recent years shows people who marry after 35 having a higher rate of divorce than people who marry between 25 and 29 (https://ifstudies.org/blog/want-to-avoid-divorce-wait-to-get-married-but-not-too-long) not a lower chance (even the older data showed a essentially flat difference in risk after your mid 20s).

You can't be serious?

That data comes from a right wing think tank. Of course thats what the data is going to say.

Right wing and Left wing think tanks are always going to have data that reflects their political and social ideologies.

Furthermore, I'm so tired of these 'sTudIeS'.

Look at how the decades of research and data on Alzheimers turned out to be fake.

OK, fine. You don’t like where PP got their data. Where are you getting your stats? Seriously. Please share. Otherwise you aren’t stating facts, you are providing an opinion based on your personal feelings.

Poor have nothing at stake if they divorce. Wealthy can absorb the loss. Its middle class, specially upper middle class who needs to be careful.

The data is the data, it comes from the CDC, and the author is a liberal (see here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-im-a-liberal_b_58151cece4b09b190529c5b5 and here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/an-idiots-guide-to-progressive-activism-in-the-age_b_5862130ae4b068764965be31). Meanwhile it's very difficult to have a rational conversation if you're just going to discount "studies," because you read about some that turned out to be wrong. You're just going off assumptions without checking them against any kind of measurable reality. You're free to believe things without real evidence, but it is, as I said, pretty rich to jump in with "well, you're not very bright" to someone who believes something different that's supported by evidence.
