Greater incomes give one access to more of the finer things in life, which distracts from family planning. For better or worse.

How can you get this close

>Greater incomes give one access to more of the finer things in life, which distracts from family planning

And still come to the wrong conclusion.

I promise you that high school dropouts with 5 kids are watching more netflix and playing more video games than a couple with graduate degrees from Stanford.

Difference between the dropout and Stanford graduate is level of self awareness, inhibition, disgust, ambitions.

More to do with women becoming more educated, not men and women.
