Add in Child care and Medical expenses

One parent stays home and the other one works at a job with benefits.

Drive a used car.

Cook your meals from scratch.

Don't waste your money on drugs and booze.

Buy your clothes at Walmart and Kohls.

It's not rocket surgery.

I have to admit that one of the reasons that I don’t have children is the cost and responsibility of raising them. As it is, I have all the free time in the world, and can indulge my hobbies of firearm collecting and world travel. If I had a kid or three...no way.

Many others are happy to have lots of kids, in spite of the sacrifices they make. To each their own.

“It’s not rocket surgery,” is going on my list of must-use phrases, right after, “Go step on a Lego!” which I also heard today.

Will you accept “not the sharpest knife in the chandelier” in exchange?

So you think that personal economics plays no role in having children?

Ok...
