I completely agree with you there and I respect your decision. I'm glad you took the time to think about this and are taking measures to make sure that you never have one. I wish more people thought about it and did the same.
I'm not sure if I want a child at this point but I've thought over a lot of the same stuff that you mentioned here. Without kids, you have a lot more money to spend on stuff you really want, a lot more time to do stuff you really want to do etc etc.
Some people consider their kids to be the best part of their lives. To them, the sacrafices are worth it.
Everyone else should seriously consider having a kid before serious relationships or relationships where they are sexually active.
