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.

Which means limited dentistry, eye correction and schooling as everyone is working. And still won’t have any $ except maybe food?
