[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Childfree by choice here. "Rich" (comparably), white, and educated. We don't really like kids. We don't want to spend 20+ years raising them. We don't need them in our old age (and don't think it is wise to count on them), because we have $$$. The idea of an adult, raised family is appealing, but we're not really willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get there and we find it, at best, a risky bet. [/quote] You may not need children later. You do though if you can't pay for a quadruple bypass or heart transplant out of pocket. You don't necessarily need your own children, but you need younger healthier people paying into the pool if you are counting on using health insurance for major health events. Non wealthy people need someone's kids even more. The average senior who retires today wiil break even on SS, but will pull out two to three times what they paid into Medicare in real terms.[/quote]
