Not all men that have chosen not to have a family are "living in their parent's basement" or have "given up" on life.

I made the choice about 20 years ago to never marry, and never have children. I own my home, have an amazing career full of growth and future potential and currently am in the top 20% of wage earners.

Had I made a different choice 20 years ago I likely would be married with 2 kids right now, and be making significantly less income likely living paycheck to paycheck struggling to pay rent

What is depressing to me is the belief that family is the only way to have fulfillment in life, and if you choose not to have children you have "given up" on life

Absolutely! I hope we as a society grow out of the mindset that working and having a family is the primary way one contributes to society.

There must be so many people that could’ve been revolutionary creatives if they weren’t struggling to live paycheck to paycheck.

We're already there - most developed countries have negative fertility.
