If you’re happy to pay ~$380k per kid (not including daycare and college) over their 0-18 journey (£250k-£300k in the UK) and whatever it costs to help them survive in adulthood for the experience, help yourself. That’s certainly a choice. The future will not be as welcoming and prosperous as the past.

Only childless people will bring forward such a calculation of costs. And this shows that it‘s a great thing they remain childless.
