Honestly one of the big reasons we decided to not have kids. With some budgeting we have a good quality of life as we both earn a good wage. Though we still have to be careful. Adding kids to that mix would mean we would struggle at times and have to cut back on the niceties to keep food and bills paid.

It is a depressing reality of our capitalist society.

That's rough mate. How much does not having kids effect you?

Honestly other than a little pang when interacting with my nephew's of am I missing out, it's mostly positive.

We have time and money to do more of the things we enjoy, not that there's much of that even without kids when you factor in 2 full time jobs.

That's good its not effecting you too much. Bottom line is if you're not financially fit, you're not financially fit.
