There's research that found that people without children are happier than people with children.

Sounds like a kind of crazy blanket statement for actual researchers to make but then again sociology research.. well..

Why is it crazy? It seems like the most sensible conclusion - no kids reduces stress significantly. Maybe in a world without need it’d be the other way around, but we don’t live in a post-scarcity society, do we?

mist Americans can’t afford kids, the main reason is simple as that

curious what happiness rates look like in real first world countries
