"I'd go out on a limb here but perhaps houses? Not this or next generation but if populations keep shrinking, it's possible that older homes owned by family who's passed on (mostly ones not located near the large metro centers) will be treated like the current inherited huge oak china hutches - a large and bulky burden with little to no value.

#26 "Life Coach" isn't a real job, it's just getting soneone to pay you to be their parent/pastor/gym coach. The closest real job title would be "Support Specialist" that is a position offered by senior and disabled organizations.
Just google fertility rate. US: 1.6
Even china is below two and has it's population shrinking since 2022 or so.
Every country with a fertility rate below 2.something (2.3 I think) has a shrinking population unless that can be compensated by immigration.
