It's not our fault that the cost of living has gone so high people can only afford kids after they turn 30.

My parents were able to buy a house at 20 years old with an average wage. That is not the case anymore and people struggle to even own a place let alone start a family at a young age.

I'm delaying having kids to the point of never having them

The most important decision you will ever make in your life is who will be the other parent of your children. Ladies, do not make this decision during the week you ovulate. Men, do not make this decision below your waistline. Romance and attraction are important, but values and character are what will get you through tough times, and you should be sure of those before you go ahead and start making new humans (who need both parents equally)

No one can afford to have kids including me, im 29, and its not feasible. That is why we need you to start doing interviews on the economy, raise awareness please!!!

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.

People everywhere don't want to bring children into this present day struggle. The human race will most definitely enjoy making families again, when existing isn't so expensive.

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.

I became pregnant with my first at 21. The father I had only known for 2 months at the time. Now I'm 28 and we have 3 kids (all unplanned.) It is hard having children at a younger age, I fully understand why people wait. I feel I could have provided more for my children if I waited until I was 30 but, I am glad I had children young. Motherhood feels magical. It is the hardest yet most rewarding thing I've done in my life.

I decided I couldn't afford it and found it hard to find someone I could trust enough to be a good dad and husband/partner. It is what it is. I didn't want to struggle more than I already am and didn't want to end up a single mum, struggling even more. Life is hard enough as it is.

Some of things i do that keep me in shape, healthy and happy: 1. Eat whole foods. (Zero processed and fast foods) 2. Simple exercises (walking, jogging, bicycle rides, swimming...etc) 3. Quit alcohol 4. No smoking 5. Fasting ETC These things are easy, no money needed but very important.

20 years of obscene house prices, no real jobs that pay untill you are late 20s, insecure work, and much more. Now compare that with the pre 2000s era.

I had my daughter at 42…it’s all about the love! Nothing compares to that in life, job promotions, owning a business/ businesses, big bucks, travelling around the world etc! This becomes your biggest and best achievement…if you are prepared to be a good parent and put in the time.🇨🇦❤️

people delay having kids until they can actually afford to have one, this includes money, energy, time, housing, school, food etc...or some couples simplx cannot have kids cuz different issues beyond them so leave people alone and stop telling them should they have kids or not

I wasn't ready to have a child until I was 30.

why everyone is so triggered? if you don’t want to have kids its fine, good for you, there are people who want kids.

Life is too stressful and expensive that having kids is not an option for many people. And then when you're older with the risks of having defective fetuses, the pregnancy is terminated as it should be. We don't need more challenges that way.

No one is choosing to delay having kids. If you want them, it's impossible to be in a position to have them before 30 unless you're from an extremely wealthy family who will bankroll your life for you. I hate people like this. Yes, we know it's bad to wait! Fix the economy so we don't have to

I think he’s saying if you want kids to get them early; I don’t think he means everyone should
