    I could totally afford a child, but if I chose to do that, I wouldn’t be able to afford anything else fun, so I haven’t chosen to. By all means, I make a pretty decent living and would’ve probably been in the upper middle class 20 years ago.

      I was in the top 2% financially in my country before I walked away from that life (the work I did was lucrative, but a brutal grind)

      At no point did money feature into the equation

      I just really don’t like kids.

        Yeah, there are other reasons than just money for me too, though I do want to have one or two some day.
