Hey guys, is anyone here alright with their life?

I'm also childfree at 46, and completely happy with my decision. I wanted children when I was younger (I was married from 22-30yrs old), but now I'm super glad that I don't. Most of my friends have from preschool to teenage children, and they all have so many restrictions because of it. I've been called selfish for choosing not have kids, but I think it would be a lot more selfish of me to have children if I didn't really want them.

Also, I lived in England for a few years, and my partner grew up in Canada until she went to University, then spent many years in Australia. In my view, NZ really is paradise. I'm self employed (with staff) so I only really work a few hours a week with a decent income, and the opportunity to have an easy laidback life is pretty much unmatched.
