re: The goal of many Gen Z and millennial women is now to be a DINK—dual income and no kids

My youngest is a HS senior. It’s not like this is the ancient past. My wife and I were DINKs in the early 2000s. She was a bank manager, I was a junior network engineer. We made equal income and she quit her job. We moved to the boonies where schools weren’t dangerous and housing was cheaper. We definitely sacrificed.
You can never explain this to folks who do not want to understand.
Their explanation will always be rising costs but never needs versus wants.
Its that simple. They factor in needs as necessities then complain about things "costing" more.
Cost and spend are two totally different things.

It's not easy for anyone to reduce the comfort level they're accustomed to. People aren't willing to raise children with less than they had or to reduce their own accustomed comforts. Nobody wants to take a step back simply for procreation. Like I said earlier, I think it's short-sighted but it's definitely a problem.

I think you need an edit here. Needs are necessities.
