Add to my tattoo sleeveHave more memorable new experiences, advance in my career, get a bit more muscle definition, and buy a place of my own that I can gradually customize into something I’m happy to come home to :)
Marriage, homeownership, baby. No big deal.
What kind of person has a baby in the late 2020s.
I’ve always wondered how bad things have to get before people say “no thanks, I’m good.”
I know the answer is different for everyone, so I guess I would phrase it by percentiles, e.g. when would 75% opt out.
I think you’re making unacknowledged assumptions in your question that may cause it to have no answer. The most affluent people often have very low birth rates. The most challenged people often have very high birth rates. There may not be a point “so bad” that people don’t reproduce.
People don’t reproduce for rational reasons. They are responding to a drive and have no insight into what informs that drive except by inference. But I still think there is a moral dimension to human reproduction and responding to a drive does not make it moot.
People don’t reproduce for rational reasons
Some people clearly do reproduce (or more directly: not reproduce) due to rational reasons, as demonstrated by people opting out. The most commonly cited reason is finances, but I’ve also seen environmental concerns or societal factors related to gender (e.g. with 4B).
Solid point though. The real question might very well be: what percentage of the population is willing to forgo reproduction due to adverse external conditions vs what percentage will continue even under extreme hardship?
Survive or even escape the collapse of my democracy.
As a Canadian, I also hope to survive the collapse of your democracy and the inevitable annexation of mine.
I hope to be on my own in a city I enjoy with a stable income.
Remain alive, last 5 years were touch and go.
Lose weight and improve my social life.
Do you have an HR fetish or something?
That was incredibly inappropriate to say, who is your lemming manager? We will be discussing your behavior and next steps
I would love to learn to not worry, stress and ruminate about every little thing ever
Empty the garage.
Really, I just want to figure out a way to make a stable, livable income without having to become a corporate wage slave again. The corporate wage slave part is negotiable.
Happiness and inner peace
