Millennials Are Choosing Pets Over Kids and Posting Hilarious Memes About Their Choice

Millennials get criticized for a lot of things but many reasons for that are that they are not satisfied with the status quo. And that could be a good thing. For generations, we’ve been told to get a job, find love, get married, have kids, and retire; however, that’s a limited life and it’s not for everybody.

Today, people are working longer than before because people are living longer than before and they love what they do. Also, millennials are choosing pets over kids because dogs and cats don’t waste money, they’re always happy to see you, and they don’t scream for hours on end. While many millennials enjoy having kids, the following 33 people hilariously posted their reasons why they chose pets over kids and you know what…they may be on to something!
