This counts as a dupe because there was a major thread in the last year or so (two, in fact). This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html .

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm a millennial and have also chosen to not have kids (vasectomy) for similar reasons - it's expensive, the world feels unstable, and mental illness is pretty bad for both me and wife. However I don't fault people who highly value having kids, and I think it's an extremely human trait to want them with a higher priority than anything else.

Unstable is the default state of the world. Throughout history there have only been a few brief periods of relative stability. Now we are living through a reversion to the mean.
