[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can throw money at people like they do in many countries and they still won't have kids.
I have 5 childless family members (mid to late 30s) who all have good jobs and houses. One of them is unable to find a partner due to ASD and ridiculously high standards. The others have given the following reasons:
1. "We're not done having adventures yet. Maybe someday when we feel like we've traveled enough"
2. "I still feel like a kid myself and that's just way too much responsibility. We love going out and then sleeping in every weekend"
3. "Global warming, plus none of our friends have any and it would be weird to be the first. We couldn't hang out anymore"
4. "We definitely want to maybe 5 years from now after we've done our bucket list trips"
So in my family no amount of money can top the allure of global travel and FOMO. I have no idea what could be done politically about that.[/quote]

All of these are smart reasons. My friends who had children in their 20s all divorced in their 30s.
