A 2021 study by the Census revealed that childless adults age 55 and older had a median net worth of $153,900 compared to $130,400 for biological parents.
I always tell my parents they should have foregone having kids as they missed out on a lot of happy memories. My dad became a nervous wreck as soon as he became a parent and took him decades to chill out. They both passed on adhd and anxiety disorders they didn’t know how to treat so yeah, good times. Most people don’t have anything great to pass on genetically to their kids. I really have had no use of my dad’s artistic talents when I’m too unfocused from unmedicated adhd to do anything with it. And who cares if I am great at multitasking if I have too much anxiety to drive.
My parents would have been better off and would have seen the world. I would have not existed and that’s totally fine!
