If you don't want kids, don't have kids.

Don't let family, or even your significant other pressure in to it.

I'm sure it is fulfilling for some, but some parents are carrying too much guilt to admit have a kid can lead to depression.

It's not that easy. Things change.

I am happy to have made the decision. However, I might have decided totally differently if I had known back then:

How badly the environment is going south (for humans) How bad my health would be (most critical things came up suddenly)

Among other things.
