My views are so similar to yours I could have written that myself.
What scares me though is that it's all the benefit scroungers having loads of kids, and less and less of the responsible and intelligent/career focused people that prop up society.
I'm at the age now (26) where lots of my friends (I didn't go to a comp next to a council estate so most of my friends are only just starting) are starting to have kids - some of them have 2-3 year olds now. None of them are even as close to as happy as they were before kids. I hardly see some of them these days - they can't go out because they can't get baby sitters, or afford them, a couple of them the woman isn't working any more so they're poor as dirt and pretty much under house arrest.
The idea of bring a time/money/happiness parasite into my happy, content world of being able to afford/do what I want, when I want, with whom I want is unthinkable.
Tonight I think we'll go to the cinema....oh, wait, no, we can't get a baby sitter. etc.
**** that for a game of soldiers.
As for who will look after me when I'm old? well the £300k + I will save by not raising two kids should be more than adequate for a naked Filipino nurse in my golden years.
