Having a family "seems to have become an abstract idea"

I find it interesting that one of the reasons given by a woman who didn't want to have children was that she couldn't imagine herself becoming financially dependent upon someone else. In a world of ever-rising divorce rates, is it unreasonable for her to be afraid of that kind of commitment and dependency? And the cycle continues... :(
