As a millennial, I don't really feel so much that I climbed the ladder as much as I held on for dear life as it was pulled up. And I didn't end up all that far up like a lot of people here. I think I'm basically doing ok and at peace with where I am now, but I can't imagine putting a kid through the things I had to go through; it all just feels so grim with the future they're facing.

Also, I'm not religious (though I did try for a bit) and I think that's a very important ingredient in fertility and certainly seems to be bringing it down as people drift away from religion. God is dead and we have killed him I suppose.
