    I am quite certain that you are a skilled enough communicator to not say

    If I had to redo my life, that’s what I’d do.

    Which is directly wishing your children were never born, and is a fundamentally different conversation from “By all means, opt not to have children - our financial lives would look quite different if we did not.”

    As with most things, how you say it matters as much or more than what you’re saying.

      You realize one of the benefits of social media is being able to voice a thought without having to refine it first right?

        Yes. I also do not see how this person literally regretting their children can possibly be interpreted any other way
