Wow! Nine children on less then $30,000 per annum! Just HOW do do you do that? You do know, that you are the exception to the general rule, don't you?
Yes it's not average but most of our friends have 6 or more children(including 4 families within 3 miles that have 8 or 9). It's worth doing if only to drive libs crazy cause they can't recruit fast enough to keep up. Also, I'm not saying that it's easy.
