I completely agree with you. My wife and I made many lifestyle "sacrifices" in order to have kids. I put "sacrifices" in quotes, because driving in a cheaper car than your professional peers is only a sacrifice if you you are consumerist.

Is it consumerist to prefer going on a long trip yourself rather than having a kid?

[throw-the-towel]

Absolutely? Consumption of experiences is still consumption.
