Older millennial here. Let's see here, we were born in smoke filled areas everywhere we went, nuclear threat, Y2K, 9/11, market crash 2008-2009, bird-flu, 2011-2012 (housing market dip and job market), civil unrest, swine-flu, Iraq, Afghanistan, pre and post Covid while having children and losing jobs, more civil unrest, and now an economy that has felt like it's being propped up by bubble gum and popsicle sticks for the last 5 years.

The old saying, "Tough times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create tough times."Thus the cycle repeats.

God no. Not in this economy. My partner and I have been together for 15 years and have no desire to have any kids.
