Part 1 of Scott Galloway's eMail post: "Newsletter Exclusive: Americans Are Replacing Kids With Pets In just the past two years, the cost of raising a child has increased 25% to almost $300,000 — and that's not including college. Meanwhile, median earnings have increased just 3%. With parenthood increasingly out of reach, more Americans are turning toward “pet parenthood” instead. The share of U.S. adults younger than 50 without children who say they are unlikely to ever have kids rose 10 percentage points between 2018 and 2023 (from 37% to 47%). 36% said that affordability is a major reason. The biological urge to care for a dependent hasn’t disappeared but rather shifted. A Harris Poll found that 43% of Americans would prefer to have pets over children in the future, and the top reasons for Gen Zers and millennials were that pets are easier to take care of and less of a financial strain than children. As Americans have fewer children, they’re spending more on pets. Psychology researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and The Ohio State University found that at both the national and county levels, lower U.S. birth rates were strongly associated with higher pet expenditures. This relationship remains significant even after adjusting for inflation and controlling for national GDP, total population, and median age, and replicates using fertility rate as the predictor of pet expenditures."
