[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want your Thanksgiving table to look like in 20 years? [/quote]

Exactly!
OP, it's valid if your truly cannot save for retirement and some college savings unless you have one child. But is that really the case? Or are you trying to save 100% for college (which, who knows, might be free by the time your daughter goes...) and a baller retirement, or are you really just talking about the basics?
At the end of your life, are you going to think expensive vacations and private school were worth skipping out on a second child, or will the second child make you happier? (ps look around: do rich people who go on expensive vacations and pay for private school seem universally hapiper to you?)[/quote]

It’s not that we wouldn’t be able to save at all for college and retirement; it’s more that with one, we could theoretically do private school while also saving for college and retirement.

I guess, like everything in life, it’s about trade offs. [/quote]
