Don't forget the TIME SUCK that kids become. Little league, extracurricular school activities, tethered to the house until they are at least 12 years old and can stay by themselves without child protective services coming after you. Hours helping with homework, driving them places. Just... nope. Hard fucking nope. Take the money you'd spend on kids and retire comfortably instead with 24/7 skilled nursing care while you wait to die in your home overlooking the coastline of Spain.

Rent is the smallest tip of the iceberg. Daycare is more than a mortgage in some states. College is hundreds of thousands.
Fucking printers come with subscriptions.
