    Finally clawed my way into a semi-safe financial state for the first time in my life in my mid 30's? I think my partner and I will celebrate by putting ourselves back into an uncertain financial state for the next 20+ years.

    Yeah no thanks, I'll adopt another dog.

        I'd imagine a ton of millennials feel the same way.

        Honestly I think I'd really enjoy being a dad if society actually provided reasonable support to parents beyond tax breaks. Neither of us are neurotypical and we wouldn't have the energy to work and be good parents without heavily relying on our own parents, and I don't want to put that responsibility on them, even though they would probably be glad to help out 95% of the time.
