hroughout history, and even comparatively today you can see it, prosperity is a big influencer on the number of families and children. With greater prosperity people do not feel the need propagate the world with progeny because they will be able to save enough for themselves to pay people to take care of them in times of infirmary (or depend on the government).

If I truly felt prosperous and my assets were secure from government seizure (mostly due to demands of the rapacious retiring Boomers), I would have LOTS of kids.

As it currently stands, I will make 6 figures this year and still don't feel I could provide adequately for children.

You must have a lot of expenses.

I support my 2 kids and my mother on $35k a year plus ~$300.00 per month of support.

It's a struggle, but I've done it for almost 4 years so far.

I am a Boomer and I haven't made any demands
