[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous]I'm a millennial and chalked up the lack of kids to being in a high-achieving cohort. Maybe half of us have kids? The other half aren't married. I don't many that are childless by choice (as far as I know). My friends both gay and straight that are married by in large have kids usually 2-3. But I myself hit total unexplained secondary infertility at 35 so have 2 kids but am unlikely to have 3.

My husband is in the military and in his friend group we only know 2 childless by choice couples. Most men have 1 if not 2 sets of kids by different women thanks to the damage the many years in war did on their personal lives.

No, it’s not a “high achieving” thing. My sisters who are in sales also say nope to kids. It’s a racket for women right now. [/quote]

As far as I know, I don't have friends saying no to kids. Just ones that aren't married. But I'm saying my sample is not representative of the US. Friends have plenty of wealth, some picked more stressful jobs and other choose less stressful jobs that paid well. But money isn't a factor.[/quote]
