My brother has kids. My girlfriend's brother may have kids in the future. We have plenty of ways to pay it forward. Meanwhile, my parents are already retired. I'd like to retire as well, someday.

FWIW, the amount of paying it forward you'll do for your own kids is probably 2 orders of magnitude more than what you could ever put into your nieces and nephews.

Also, I get that you probably think I'm just some asshole on the internet, but we're talking about whether human beings—your kids, no less!—get to exist. This is kinda important.
