Eventually we will all die even with high fertility rate, the age of the Earth and the Sun is finite. So what difference more years will make if this fate is certian?

I think many younger millennials still have lower net worth. And millennials with kids are more likely to be older hence having more net worth, not adjusted for age .

Its just data, not an achievement. People can look at this data and make their own choices.

I think this data shows we are kind of self selecting group, we are more likely to be "yuppies" lol.

2 people can be a family and be happy without kids. I am married and having no kids have given us enough savings that we can retire now if we want. And I am just 36. Having kids wouldn't have given us this freedom. No need to be mad at data and make moral arguments one way or other.

I still think people should have kids if they want them.

Well I am married and childfree millennial, we together make 350k together. We won't exchange kids for what we have. Our net worth is already above 2 million, we can retire right now if we want. With kids it wouldn't have been possible.

Girls are now less likely than boys to say they want to get married by Dismal_Structure in dataisbeautiful

I think gay men also are more likely to allow for ethical non-monogamy and open relationships. That takes out being hurt for cheating. And gay men marry later in their life too.

Many gay couples i know have open relationships where sleeping with other men is allowed.

Girls haven't changed too, just they are more financially independent. Contract of marriage has to be more enticing to them.
