People fail to consider the cost of not having children - having something to do when you're old. If you're an outlier in health, wealth, and intelligence, you may be able to maintain an active lifestyle where you create something, travel, and maintain an interesting collection of friends. Write some books, create some art, hike the mountains, and discuss philosophy.
But that isnt reality for most people, because most people are average. Average people who dont have children are going to spend decades in a dusty apartment. Alone. Watching brain rot on tv. Eating themselves into the grave. It's a LONG road from 40 to 80 if you're average and dont have children.
