I had always thought I had to have kids since I was a kid. It was a natural part of the culture I grew up in. It wasn't until I learned I had actual choices that it became apparent to me that I could and would chose a childfree life.
It has nothing to do with guilt, or future generations but for me to enjoy the life, city, and income that I have now. Maybe it's just as selfish, but I don't have to share my wife with any children. I don't have to agonize over illness and strife over acceptance to schools. I don't have to worry about any child coming home late from a party. I don't worry about if they are or will be a good person.
I live my life for me and my wife. And that's the end of my line in my family tree.
