Any real good reason not to be father? And by good reason, I mean data.
If you can afford it, I doubt it.

I'm sure it can be proven that kids are expensive, though.

So if your priority is "living like a king" rather than "being a good parent", then yeah, not having kids might be a really good idea. Maybe your overall life would improve by getting over your selfishness, though...
My view is there are enough people in the world.
