Snyder decided not to have children at a young age due to concerns about overpopulation and resource depletion. This perspective was relatively unusual for her generation, as a Pew Research Center report from July 25 reveals that only 6% of people aged 50 and older without children cited environmental concerns as a major reason for not having kids. Snyder’s choice has provided her with financial freedom, as she has enough savings to retire comfortably. Additionally, not having children spared her from the burden of balancing childcare with caring for aging parents, a responsibility she managed for six years.
