If I'd have kids (and wife) I'd need way more money of course. But I don't want kids of my own. This opinion of me hasn't changed in the last 10 years and I don't think it'll change in the future. I believe there are already plenty enough people on earth and more people wouldn't make the world necessarily a better place.

Not contradicting your decision, but I have to argue this point. There are not enough creative, educated, tolerant, empathetic people in the world. Every educated tolerant person with empathy is a little win for civilization. So, if you think you can make or train one, then there's an argument for having or mentoring kids.
