    For many people in their twenties, the concept of marriage, property, and babies seems mostly abstract: http://nyer.cm/GoFkxIz pic.twitter.com/sWaPBwmIVF

        Was just about to say that. I still use the phrase ‘when I grow up’, and I’m 36.

        36 too 🙋🏻‍♀️ In the last couple of years I realised that more than trying to “settle down” I had to work on accepting that this is my lifestyle and the way I am. (Dont know if Im clear, English is not my first language)

        Very clear. I understand entirely. There is no settling down, as it is based on the idea that you build your career, then slow down, have a family etc. Fewer and fewer of us are afforded that path.

        You mean “are afforded” in the sense that we dont have the possibility? In my case, economically I cant, for sure, but I think it is a choice also. It was hard for me to realize I didnt want what I was supposed to want... 🤔

        Well, both: the financial side of it is huge, but, yes, it’s definitely a choice as well. I don’t want children, and I’m surprised by the strong reactions I get from others, as if I’d said something awful, or unacceptable. But I know what I want, and what I don’t,

        Doubt that, but if so, then they are in a sad place. Nothing is better than family.

        That’s very presumptuous of you. Saying people are in a sad place because they don’t have the same desires as you is very problematic. Your comment should say “for me, nothing is better than family”. ... and family doesn’t have to mean having kids.

        Then what does family mean? What is it composed of? Selfish people who care not about what their ancestors did to get them here? It took family to do that ya know? Seriously? Make believe family?

        Just because someone chooses not to have children doesn’t mean they don’t care about their family or respect their ancestors. Where did you get “make believe family” from my tweet. I was implying you shouldn’t speak for everyone

        The economy, while still admittedly running an unsustainable deficit, was historically, rarely a decisive factor in whether people got married and had kids. Some deeper explanation is needed.

        Having children and owning homes is expensive, especially when baby boomers wrecked the economy and left their children or grandchildren with the decaying remnants of the once incredible economy that they themselves inherited.

        As a 24 y/o, I’m probably never going to have children nor own a house in the foreseeable future (if I ever do own a house or have kids - I probably won’t) because I will probably never be able to afford it - a lot of that has to do with what’s been done to the economy.

        Not at all. It's the conditioning you've been subjected to. You don't need to own a house to have children. How many people in historical times owned a house? I do understand your thinking but it's part and parcel of all the modern foolishness.
