[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone who didn't have kids because of money. They just say that to say something.
I have two and both have been very cheap to raise. The biggest expense is food right now.
The older one can pick up and watch the younger one because of the age difference. We never upgraded our home or a car because of the kids.
I worked around my DP work hours, so no need for daycare. Public school started at 4 for both. I was not going to have a career anyway as I moved here later in life.
My current job allows kids to be there, feeds them, and lets parents go home early if they wish to do so.
The kids are almost never sick and don't have expensive hobbies or wants. 
Travel is usually paid for relatives because they invite the kids. EU travel is also cheap because of relatives.
Three different sets of local relatives take the kids weekly.
Kids are cheap or we are lucky. We are lucky- we have a village.[/quote]

So let’s recap:

- kids don’t participate in any travel sports or the arts/music or whatever…their choice, not at all influenced by parents having no $$$s for it;

- kids get to travel a bunch because I mooch off my wealthy relatives…note to everybody, get wealthy relatives;

- kids don’t get sick…make sure your kids don’t get sick or get hit by a car tomorrow;

- live in a crappy little house and drive a crappy car;

About sum it up?[/quote]
Jealous?[/quote]

Not at all…it’s just funny when people describe a crappy lifestyle and then say “see it’s easy to afford kids”.
