It makes sense, but people have always had kids that they couldn't afford. The statistic matches up with what I've experienced at work and with friends, where older people without children aren't as concerned with being responsible with their money because nobody depends on them for support, while the older people with kids are much more diligent about monitoring the amount of money they spend.
