offspring throughout their

lives

. The benefit of

this

decision is that married

couples

can focus on their own individual and career development whereas, one drawback is that they will be alone and will have no one to support or look after them when they grow old. On one hand, married

couples

make a decision of never giving birth to a child because doing so will help them focus on themselves, and they will be able to utilize all their resources for their own betterment. Not having a child would result in more disposable income,

this

means they will be able to enhance their quality of life and career paths. They will not have to save money for the future as well. The only savings they will be needing is probably for their own retirement.

For example

, parents usually save resources for their

children

's college education or marriage.

Instead

of saving money for future events, they can invest in various assets and double their money.

Moreover

, married

couples

without

children

will

also

have the liberty to develop their careers independently.

For example

, they can travel or study any time they figure is the best.

On the other hand

. As human beings age, they require support and care from their loved ones. But

this

element of reliance and love would be missing from their

lives

, as only close family or their own

children

can provide

this

unconditional affection and care.

Couples

who opt can

also

feel lonely on holidays and events in which families gather and enjoy themselves.

For example

, my uncle and aunt who resided in the USA decided not to give birth in the initial years of their marriage.

However

, later they had a problem with conceiving a child.

As a result

, they explain that regret not having a family of their own and that there was a void in their

lives

which they themselves could not explain. In conclusion, these days married

couples

opt to not have

children

.

Although

this

could be beneficial for their personal and professional development, it could lead to a feeling of loneliness and isolation when they grow old.
