I have a different slant on my "financial" decision to not reproduce. It involves the ultimate cost: to our planet and our non-human fellow travelers and their habitats. DEFINITELY no regrets today at 68! The rest of the story concerns the intractable dilema: how to live as a high-impact, developed world human in the richest country on earth in a high tech era. I get an F, given my existence in general. I give myself some grace and am able to thoroughly enjoy life, trying to be as low impact as I can reasonably be given when & where I was born. I'd like to see more focus amongst us at Humble Dollar on the meaning of and impact of all these dollars we manage.
