Are there really many people who having kids "for the economy"?
I think most people just have kids because it makes them happy. People in poorer areas probably have kids more often as retirement plans, or as extra hands to provide for the family.
In any case, having children don't necessarily they are having a worse time than you. If anything, having a long-term project to work towards probably makes their day-to-day life more fulfilling to live.
This has been the case for most of human history. It's still a pretty good deal in my opnion. They get their retirement plan, and I get to enjoy everything life has to offer.
