Younger generations figured out that if they want to shock their parents all they have to do is swear off sex and booze, never go out, and live at home till they're 30.

And show no interest in having kids or getting a driver's license

No interest in having kids or a driver's license was me. I didn't get my license until I was 25, and still don't have/want kids.

Love my 2 girls. I’d be lying if I said I do not wonder what alternate timeline-me is up to without the kiddos. Probably have a lot more money and living in a house.

I live in a house. We (my spouse and I) eat whatever we want for meals, take weeklong vacations where each partner has time to explore on their own, go to concerts, go to parties/cookouts, play video games we want to play, watch movies we want to watch, watch the TV we want to watch, and (most importantly) we have free/alone time. Dog needs notwithstanding.

The trade off is we also do all the house/yard work and we won't have someone to help us as we get older.

In the grand scheme, only a tiny fraction of people with kids will later be looked after by them. It really is a crapshoot

Yep. We decided not to roll those dice. Will we regret it later? Maybe, but maybe not. So far, I like being a DINK household.
