I [27M] am seriously considering not having kids in this lifetime, so I think it's important to hear from senior people (50 and above) who decided not to have ones. Do you regret your choice?

I'm >60yo & retired. I knew I never wanted kids from a very young age, I joined ZPG before I had a driver's license. Best decision, ever. I lived my life the way I wanted, did everything I always wanted to do (& more) and now that I'm retired I'm living on my self-sufficient dream homestead - 4 acres in the middle of nowhere on a former bird sanctuary 20'ish miles inland from Cedar Key, FL in a house I designed and built - it's all I dreamed it would be and more. Everything is paid for (lots of toys, too) & I'm actually saving money in retirement - NTM my retirement is fully funded outside of SS (in case it collapses in my lifetime). I love it when a plan comes together.
