A 28-year-old woman, educated at Oxford and earning over £60,000 as a political researcher, expresses deep concerns about her ability to afford children within her biological timeframe. Despite coming from a comfortable middle-class background, she, along with many of her peers, feels that motherhood is increasingly out of reach. She describes her financial struggles, living in a costly rented flat in London and facing a rising cost of living that leaves little room for savings. This situation, combined with the challenges of affording childcare and establishing a stable home, makes the prospect of starting a family seem unattainable. The woman reflects on how her life plans—settling down and having children in her mid-20s—have not materialized due to financial constraints.
