Older generations pounded it into our skulls to never have a kid you can't afford...so we're not. 

People are much more open and realistic when talking about what parenting is truly like. It has pulled those on the fence (that would likely not have been living their best life as parents and would likely have regrets/resentment) down to reality and that it might do the opposite of making us happy. 

It's a more educated choice now that doesn't cause you to instantly be a social outcast if you don't have kids, in the western world at least. 

I'm a 'childfree millenial', and I love kids. I think they're the funniest, most wonderful people around. Doesn't mean I want to live with and likely be the default parent for one...

Hello there, fellow childfree millennial! Well said!

I love my nieces to death, but kids definitely aren't for us. 

Some people have a problem with that. 
But...that's their problem, not ours &lt;3.
