Maybe a few of those final years are gonna be spent in hospice care because of illness.

What a dumb way to live.

Ain't nothing wrong that lol. The point of life I guess rn is too work a good job. Save/invest money and retire early.

I got my retirement rolling and pension when I retire. If I decide to go for 100 percent I'll be 55. If I do 20 I'll get most of my pension at 40

I love how ignorant so many are of the world and the meaning of life. Yes if you don't have kids, you should have more money and be able to retire early. However, you won't be enjoying that life. You'll be old and wishing you had kids. It's such a shame how many in our generation are losing sight of that. Other types aren't slowing down at having babies at all and they'll be taking over.

You dont need to kids to be happy.

I argue they are more pain than they are worth.

Your barely veiled racism aside, In all likelyhood I will never be able to father children, so I'm never going to enjoy my life and the meaning of life is lost on me?

So do I just kill myself now since my life apparently just going be a wasteful march towards retirement?

It depends what your goals are in life.

My goals in life are to create. Create and multiply. Not necessarily talking about kids (though that's in my plan), but I like to invest in various endeavors. I've started businesses, published books, and want to continue to do stuff like that. I want to build a nonprofit, a corporation, etc. I like doing impactful work that furthers my interests. I don't think I'll ever "retire" since I plan to work until the day I die. The difference is I want to have enough passive income on the side that I don't have to work to pay bills. The work I do is on my terms doing what I want to do.

As long as I keep myself healthy so I'm not ill at retirement age, I want to to keep doing what I'm doing well into my 90s.

Reproduction might be the only real meaning of life. Yeah, dont reproduce so you can selfishly live longer. Old people with no family act ready to die and waiting for the bus.

I'm going to work until they put me in a nursing home and I'm gonna blow all my money before I get there so the state doesn't drain it. Retirement would be boring anyways, if anything I'll go part time

That would be the biological reason and it occurs in species without any semblance of higher thinking as well. Your biology has programmed you to get really horny at 16 and foolishly impregnate a chick and try to raise the kid that just so happened to magically appear.

That's not anything worthy of calling "the meaning of life" in a personal context.

You're damn right I will enjoy actually living life instead of being tied down to raising screeching snot monsters. I'll have money and time, and I'll probably keep my hair too.

When you have kids, you sacrifice your life so that your kids can have one...until they have their own and sacrifice their lives in an endless cycle of unfulfillment.

Youll both be old and miserable. I guess after one dies the other just awaits death.

Not to mention if one dies late 50s or early 60s.

People who say negative things about kids act like theyd just fuckin hate them.

Like the stereo typical annoying kids is how they are 24/7. Yeah, if you fucking suck as a parent but then again these people complaining about kids, which they dont have, sound like theyd be horrible parents so, maybe its for the better....
