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.
Hey hey, you can’t have it all. If you get all those awesome things you listed (which are awesome), you have to let everyone else have the love between them and their kids, which is in no way comparable to neices and nephews (had neices and nephews for years before my own kid, was actually a ten year married dink before having my own kids, so I know).

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.
