The common narrative always appears to be money. I would contend that the modern life is too fragile. Day to day life is so filled with stress and anxiety that young people don't mate until it's too late. Life has become too complicated. There is far too much paperwork, government bureaucracy and things to keep on top of. If you don't keep up on the bureaucracy, you will get penalized harshly. E.g. why the fuck does a car need to be registered every year? If I need to register a car, why can't I do it online? If I can do it online, why can't I do it if I change my address? Why do I need to present a thousand documents for 5 mins worth of work? Why does the registration have to be sent via snail mail? What happens if USPS loses it? These questions may sound trivial but for someone who may lose their job due to slow bureaucracy, this is a matter of their life. And now, imagine the same bureaucracy with income tax, property tax, drivers license, voter registration, health insurance, property insurance, car insurance, healthcare providers with a zillion portals, loan providers and their bullshit paperwork etc. One mistake with any of them will add even more burden on you to clear your records, pay things on time etc. Life has become too burdensome. And after living 30 years with this, the thought of more paperwork for kids seems awful. This all discounts how unstable jobs and incomes are. Without income stability, all of the above becomes crazier.
