re: Couples who decide not to have kids.

Nah they want regret it. When they are old together or one of them passes they will have the fin memories of great vacations and a little larger bank account to love them and share their last days with.

They will sit in their larger than they would have gotten with kids house and have long conversations with their photo albums about the special moments they had that make life worth living. They will look at their friends and neighbors in their age group with kids and watch the steady stream of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and think what suckers those people are for wasting all the money and time on others when they could have squeezed a couple more vacations in to Vegas or Europe instead of having children.

Then they will die alone thinking how awesome their choices are.

Thats why mr high and mighty has 7 kids.

Has all bases and disasters covered

How would someone who chose not to have kids ever know if they made the right choice? My kids are what make my vacations great. Idk I kinda feel sorry for people who don't know the parent/ child kind of love. There's nothing like it.
If you can afford to travel the world at will then a few kids probably wouldn't have financially changed things that much.

I'm that person. We did not plan to have kids, wife did get pregnant, but had a miscarriage. We are both still sad about that, 14 years later.

Did we plan to have kids? No. Do I regret it? No, but I would be lying if I didn't say I was a bit sad to not have kids. Not sure what will happen when I can't take care of myself anymore, no help with decisions. That worries me a bit.

On the flip side, the world is an increasingly worse place to live, and I feel badly for kids growing up today with the challenges they will face.

I'm not telling you you're making the wrong choice you could be making right choice.

I don't know you. I'm just throwing some thoughts out there.

It's hard for parents to understand why people would choose the opposite of the best thing in their life, is all.
(And that's why I will always feel sorry for them)
And it seems by all the traveling the world and fancy vacation talk they might feel a little sorry for me as well

I would say the majority of married couples that don't have kids don't because they probably can't have kids due to medical reasons.

I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life with just my wife.

Well you picked the wrong women if thats the case

My sister and her husband never did. They were both focused on their careers early in the marriage and decided to wait until later. Later never came and she regrets not having any.
