“Our goal is to continue working towards financial freedom and travel to our dream destinations. We don’t want to give birth to a child half-heartedly just because society expects us to.”

“We’re both not sure if we’re mentally, physically, and emotionally ready to be parents. Plus, we don’t know what kind of future the kid will face regarding education, environment, and health.”

 “Opting out of parenthood let me invest in my career and self-care. I’ve never felt more in control of my future.”

“Motherhood is great but it’s not the only life path for women. I truly feel sure, happy, and confident about this decision… Every time I get nearer to changing my mind, I think of everything that I would have to give up.”

“The idea snowballed from many moments observing my friends with their kids and hearing their stories of struggle. Assurances that the rewards far exceed the sacrifices aren’t enough to convince me yet.”

“People think that since we don’t want kids of our own, it means we hate kids in general! That, of course, is not true. In fact, I and my partner are planning to offer help through foster care foundations when we’re financially stable”

 “Seeing how difficult it was for my mom to transition from being a housewife to a breadwinner made me think then how it would have been easier if she didn’t have kids.”
