Pfft, I'm 37 and make 44k a year. I save just over a grand a month on average. If I had a kid, basically all my savings each month go to just having them in care while I work. It's absurd. Even when my fiance and I live together, it's a massive drain on your finances. We both save about a grand a month, and you'd be wiping half that out JUST IN DAY CARE FEES.

Whilst houses might have been cheaper years ago, wages were also lower. My parents recall when it was the norm for the mortgage interest rates to be at 15%. And according to them the wages against the cost of a home was no better then than now & they lived through it. As for kids, it’s not for everyone, not everyone should have kids. But I’m also of the view that if people wait for a “right time” to have kids, they’ll never have them.

By then it will be too late. Nearly all the western countries are below the replacement rate. For example, it is predicted that South Korea and Japan will cease to exist in about 100 years. Some sources say "It has been pointed out that the Korean population may decline at a faster rate than in medieval Europe in the 14th century, when the population plummeted due to the Black Death." Even if the fertility rate in Korea picked up, it is too late for them at this point. Many European nations won't be able to support their future economies due to low birth rates.

People always talk about women when it comes to the effects of children, so I’m GLAD finally someone is talking about men too. Because it’s both that impact the children. Thank you Dr.

I grew up impoverished. We literally ate out of the trash on multiple occasions. We lived in a house that was condemned, and the toilet bowl water was frozen when we woke up in the morning. Not saying this is how we should want to live 😅 but I am saying, this doesn't mess up a child, necessarily, if there's love and connection within a family. People are saying "I would never raise a child in impoverish circumstances", but honestly, I only know a handful of adults who grew up with money that aren't annoying and entitled in some (or every) way. Poor doesn't mess up a kid, it teaches them to be resourceful, it makes them strive. Bad parenting messes up a child, not lack of extra money or things. And in a lot of cases, it means they eat better. Making meals at home with simple ingredients was all we could afford, never had sugary cereals or white bread or soda, and we are all four super healthy adults who know how to eat well. And have careers. And children. The kind of vacations we took as a child were wilderness adventures, visiting springs and gorges, camping out and building fires together. Who needs a nasty trash dumping cruise. People have a twisted idea of what kids actually "need" because of capitalism. F*ck it. Make your own fun. Teach your kid how to cook from scratch and find their own fun. When their teenagers they might be mopey 😅 but that's gonna happen regardless, if it's gonna happen. The more time you spend with your kids the more they respect you and you enjoy each other. I've never heard of anyone complaining about money or careers on their death bed. Or wishing they had worked more. It's only ever about relationships and time spent in peace and love together. The only regrets being working too much and not sitting down together enough. Not mending a relationship or staying in touch. If we're really worried about our future, and this guy (and all longevity experts, doctors and scientists) all agree that community and relationships and having children extends your life, why not listen to that? I had my kids in my 20s, kept them home til elementary school, AND built a career working from home while i did it. Now they are 18 and 15, and I'm doing well enough financially, and we are super tight. IT'S POSSIBLE.

People should decide for themselves of course but it should be informed. They should know the chaos they will face when old if birth rate drops beyond manageable. Being old with a broken pension system, no doctor around will be very difficult. Less kids mean less doctors, less everything. So even though it is a personal choice it is a collective suicide if too many people don’t have children. They shouldn’t imagine that they will have the life they have now when they are 80. The system will have collapsed by then. Not even sure that immigration and technology will compensate. If you are 25 now and don’t want children, think hard first about the society you want when you grow old.

I think also having a kid before 25 is a mistake, most people spend their 18-25 years figuring out who they really are, now that they are out from under the thumb of their parents. After 25 is when you settle into that and it takes years to do that, so may as well have a kid during that slow process as it will morph you into a different, hopefully better person.

Intelligent people don't make good worker-class citizens, they are thinkers, not workers. The ruling class (top 0.5% of the world) need workers, not thinkers. They can fleece a thinker every few decades for their science progression but beyond that they want everyone else to be working non-stop to support the economy that makes them feel good. This is all about controlling the 'peasants' and enriching the already ridiculously rich. People are looking at the core resulting problems and ignoring the main cause/source of it looming behind them, mostly because ignorance is bliss and addressing the problem that the boomers have destroyed the world economically and financially, is very uncomfortable for most people over the age of 40 nowadays. Everything goes back to the boomers, there were too many of them and they did not reproduce as fast as their parents did, so we have had a declining population ever since (besides Millenial generation block), boomers are also the recipients of the massive welfare hole called the aged-care pension or whatever your nation calls it. The aged care pension was a goodwill action the Boomers did for their parents because the war vets deserved a good retirement, then they silently stepped into that role too (retired/pensioner) and they outnumbered their parents 3:1, did not produce 2 children per family on average and now they are seeing their pensions/assets devalue because there are less youthful generations to work and raise that value. Instead of accepting the extremely good golden times are over, the boomers want to extract ever last little cent of wealth they can before they die. There are Boomers who are dying and donating their entire estate to charities while their kids suffer in the terrible financial situation their parents forced them into. All of my Boomer relatives have no finances left, they spent it all on vacations, TVs, Computers, nice houses, fancy furniture, new cars, etc. When they pass away there are no funds waiting for distribution among their few children/grand children. Every child in my generation (I'm the eldest from my generation by 7 years) is set to not see a single cent, or any land, or even an asset from any of our older relatives, we are extremely poor as a result and work non stop (or in my case I am disabled and unemployed/unemployable) my younger brother by 7 years is a mechanic at an auto shop, has been for 6 years now and he often tells me how worried he is for his partner because he just can't afford to move out from his partner's parents place no matter how many hours he puts in or how many cares he fixes.

Delay until you are 80 and then realise there is no doctor to look after you because a whole generation will have not had enough children for enough to become doctors? And no pension because the system will have collapsed? And no food because no one to farm? If you are worried about money, make sure you have a child! There are interesting reads about demographics if you want to look at both sides of the issue. If you don’t want children you need to project yourself in a society not as you see it today but in a society with few children and reinvent how it might work. Immigration, technology will fill some of the gaps ok but what else? And who will lead and manage these changes? Will it fall in the right hands? You may have a pretty chaotic retirement.

The toxic cynicism and anti-natalism in every comment section to do with fertility/population decline/children is just staggering. Yes, life is hard. Life has its challenges. It’s always been this way. My own grandmother grew up in an industrial warehouse in complete poverty during war time and the Great Depression. What if her generation had decided life was too hard and not worth it? She just turned 90 and has lived a joyful, beautiful life, and gifted so much to her descendants. I truly hope there is a strong cultural pendulum swing away from these attitudes with the upcoming generation. It’s not serving anyone.

Young people not having children, leads them to have a better quality of life. I'm a Mom of 2, a toddler and infant and I fully support young people (people my age) in not having children. It is not selfish to not have children. It's actually far more selfish to have children, especially if you can't provide for them. Also young people (my generation) are struggling to gain possessions (quantity), all they have is to try to improve their quality in life and they're barely scraping by. Children will not improve an adults quality of life, especially if they are unwanted or a burden.

Spent years preventing pregnancy then when I decided to try as a responsible adult that could afford children couldn't. Tried for 8 years and spent a lot of money to no avail. Mentally I think it impacted me more thinking my husband deserves a woman who could have a child.

Listening to this podcast at this moment means I have no control over things that effect me in this way before I’m born , only if my parents had listened and taking these steps as I developed and grew . So this info being present is for the listener to help the following generation to come. Most of us can’t even afford to have kids so have decided to opt out of it. It’s irresponsible to bring someone into this world you know you can’t afford to give a good enough chance and life without putting them up for adoption for someone who has the means but doesn’t isn’t able to have kids for whatever reason. I think it’s time to start talking about a life that’s content without children for your listeners who have to live a childless or single life against there will, and how to live that best life and avoids these increase of 60% mortality rate without a wife and child. When I go to a high end restaurant and I don’t reserve for two than say the other person cancelled I get a seat by the washroom or next to the front door outside .

There are millions of kids living in poverty through no fault of the parents. Life is becoming more of a struggle everywhere and yet there are still people advocating, for various reasons, for more children should be born. Now the USA is in the process of forcing women, it's still almost always a woman who ends up bearing the brunt of unwanted children, to have babies they don't want and cannot afford to feed, clothe and house effectively. What are our politicians offering? Increased costs, less employment for less financial reward, the prospect of WW3 looming while the already wealthy become mega rich and increasing numbers of even the middle classes living a paycheque away Fromm poverty; all good reasons to bring more children into the world I'm sure.

good episode!

Some people worry about having children because of not affording it. I don’t think they realise that when we will hit economic chaos and various systems collpase, they will struggle more. In a way having children is more garantee that you will grow old with a minimum of comfort. If you want doctors when you are old, you need children who want to become doctors.

Interesting how the world has changed since I was young. I spent my 20s and 30s desperately trying to not get my girlfriends pregnant. When I finally decided to get married 27 years ago my wife and I chose not to go down the baby making path, unlike normal people. Sex has remained fun and fulfilling without the pressure of reproduction and I think that has gone a long way to maintaining a healthy testosterone count and no need for little blue pills, even as I turn 70. I definitely get the importance of love, connection and companionship for physical and mental health but sperm count has never been of any interest other than trying not to let it get me in trouble. My wife has a good friend who had twins at 49 so I guess I still worry about an accident even as she shows signs of being perimenopausal. Funny how those who want kids the most often struggle while those who don’t sometimes end up with kids in spite of efforts to avoid them.

I think… because we are so separated from each other, families don’t live together, we don’t work hard side by side every day with all other relatives and friends in different ages, so we also know a lot less about life experiences so we are more afraid of life because we don’t have sufficient support. You don’t need just a whole village to raise a child but every child needs that village full of people. We are all so lonely and cut off. And ofc money also - but i don’t think everyone agould life separately, i’d love to see more families together, people more loving each other and just a big change from the basis of fear - what if I don’t have enough etc. It’s not just about the money.

I seen many comments on living costs too high. Reason costs are high are bosses, stakeholders and employees wanna bigger paychecks. The system is designed to always go up. This trend will only continue unless some major overhaul of the system. Like a global median income? Don't know not the expert but we all need to break barriers to work on this stuff. Is a global thing

Having them too early will fuckup your life and theirs so...

This is why it's best to ignore the opinion of society and do what works for you. At the end of the day society isn't going to assume responsibility for your kid or the consequences of having one. Yet random people are so intent on telling you how to live your life. They can stick one up their craw.

My parents & their generation were ridiculously poor. They had to grow their own vegetables as a necessity, eat lots of substandard boring meals and make a lot of their own furniture because they couldn’t buy it. Despite that they didn’t think they “don’t have enough money to have kids” Look at Irish families who had 8, 9 or 10 children (my grandfather was Irish and had 10 siblings). It’s not just economics that’s changed, it’s people’s attitude and priorities that have dramatically changed as well. The world is 100% a different place nowadays - plus, like it or not, human beings have way more demands than they used to.

Lol "they" did not decide to have kids at all. There was no birth control and wives had no choices so anytime grandpappy got horny she was likely to pop put another baby 9 months later with possibly some protection during breast feeding but not much as the Irish are also known for "Irish twins" I'm sure grandma was secretly miserable and I bet a bunch of them died on the birthing bed too.

Thanks!

Never having kids, but practice having them just in case. Twice daily.

He's in the "fertility business"? What a perverted world we live in.

We purposly need to reduce our chances and prove them wrong

I was 40 when I had my first child, and 2nd was at 41. Though, she left because the children were cramping her style. She doesn't support them, nor do they want anything to do with her. I may not reach the retirement age because my health went down dramatically. My parents went down in health right after the children were born. Working full-time and full-time health care provider, plus full-time parent completely drained me (this is without any help from the other side family. Men don't support men who are single parents. I went homeless, and the government was trying to take the kids from me. As a veteran, I couldn't receive any help either. I looked asked for help every single corner of the Earth.) If I had the chance to do it over I would not had them, not that I don't love them, cause the struggle is more than anything anyone person could ever face. Unless you have more than 10 million dollars, DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN, unless you want to lose everything you own because children first become dependent upon you and your life is over because their life is just beginning.

Wow. I know you had a hard time, but it is NOT necessary to have 10 million dollars in order to have children.

It’s a choice 👍🏼

Who says finding the right partner is easy! It took me a long time to find the right person, I'm still against spending the rest of my life and parenting with a person that isnt a good fit, that would make me a bad wife and mother, and it would have been a horrible crime against myself (Also, with the right person you are more confident about life outcomes in general, a sense of security you need in a home for family life). Not to mention the maturity, level of responsibility and the financial stability. They are all good payoffs for delaying having kids.

You're right that stability is a key condition we look for in order to start a family. That's sensible but it's become harder over time to meet partners that are a good fit. One of the reasons is that clubs and online dating is now the main way couples meet and both of those self-select for impulsive behaviour. In those scenes, men are encouraged to display conspicuous consumption rather than the skills required to create stable abundance. They also tend to be looking for sex now, rather than someone they want to introduce to friends and family. All of this means that if we want to meet good partners, we have to look elsewhere and to understand that it's going to take time. The younger we start, the better off we'll be. I started young but this was because I worked for a very successful woman who put off having children until she had the high income. Of course, the goal then became maintaining that level of income and that took her away from her kids. The kids (aged 2 and 6 months at the time) didn't care about the high income level at all. They were just distressed that she kept taking off to work. What they wanted more than anything else was her time and attention. That's a big responsibility that she was happy to forego but I was not - so I started at 21 and got to have 3 sons. I really wanted at least 4 kids and my only regret is that I didn't get to have more - especially that I didn't get to have daughters. As for the women I grew up with, only 1 other woman from our friend group had kids. She also started young. The rest of them went into great management positions and were partying well into their 30's. Then they hit 35 and started to panic. One got married at 38 and divorced 18 months later. There was a period around their 40's where the reality (and depression) really started to sink in.
