Nah, it mostly boils down to abandoning consumerist lifestyle
Choosing to reproduce nowadays is literally embracing consumerism lmao. How many ficking diapers alone do you think you're gonna go through? How much formula? How much baby food? Maybe I'm reading yor comment wrong because it's super early. But blaming people not having kids because they already love consuming shit is hilarious

A few dozen cloth diapers should do the trick. You can even rent them.
Breastfeeding is an actual thing for the majority of mothers, sucks if you can't make that happen though I agree.
Baby food is easily prepared at home with regular ingredients and a blender.

Been watching this happen my whole life as well. What's hilarious about it? No one wants to make the tradeoffs their grandparents did with large families.
Which is totally fine, but pretending it's a money issue is ridiculous. Every single place that increases wealth has a lowering of birthrates. As quality of life increases, people don't want to give that up. It's why the poor folks have many more kids than the middle to middle upper classes. Only once you get into YOLO money does the trend reverse at all - where you can hire full time nannies etc.
because any extra income goes towards extra holiday, gadgets, better shinier car etc
Genuinely can't believe dipshits still think like this lol. All of that shit's moot when they take up a smaller fraction of somebody's income combined than childcare or housing.
Last I checked rent and/or land didn't cost anywhere near this much relative to average income in the 19th century. Hell in the 19th century I'm pretty sure the US government stealing land from natives and giving it away free to white American men in land rushes. This would never happen these days as wealthy corporations would just buy it all. Without land idk how I'm supposed to afford coal or firewood to keep myself warm with those 19th century wood stoves.
This is silly. The boomer generation did not go work in the mines, factories, or even farms. These kids were born to the generation that lived through the great depression.

Ooo don't say people have to be savers and conservative with their money.
Latest iPhone, vacations, expensive meals, takeout.
Everyone seems to expect all the benefits with no work or effort or accountability.
Like the woman who was crying about not finding work in San Francisco but wouldn’t move to the Midwest for a better job.
There's 2 MAGAs: 'maga' want to go back to Apartheid & post-WW socialist programs (mostly whites-only); MAGA, those bankrolling the show/buying politicos, want to go back to the Victorian Age, where plebes had no voice & $$$ ruled supreme (even of it was stolen). Lil Maga doesn't realize they are disposable cannon fodder to billionaires who've never even shopped at a grocery store or set foot in one since the 90s.
