You want kids? Raise wages significantly at this point. Put out some strong social safety nets.

My wife and I are mid-thirties trying to save for a house and retirement. A kid is not even close to an option for us.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
