Blaming low birth rates for millennials' retirement crisis? Come on. That's not even close to being the main issue here. The actual problems—wage stagnation, skyrocketing housing costs, student debt crushing entire paychecks, underfunded pension systems—those are the real culprits. Healthcare expenses alone would tank most retirement plans. Sure, demographics matter for long-term economic models, but slapping the blame on people not having enough kids misses the forest for the trees. Millennials are getting squeezed from every angle, and fertility rates are maybe number six or seven on that list of reasons why retirement's looking like a distant dream for millions.

Really, blaming the millennial generation for the low birth rate and the aging crisis? Wake up, everyone.

The housing prices, student loans, and medical expenses are weighing down on us. Yet, people are still blaming the birth rate? I'm speechless.

Blaming the birth rate? Come on, that's not the main reason at all.

No raise in salary, houses are insanely expensive, and I haven't finished paying off my student loans. And now it's our fault for having fewer children? That's really absurd.
