[quote=Anonymous]You can have kids at any income level, OP.

We had two kids on significantly less than that. We all lived in a one-bedroom rental until the youngest was 1, and then moved to a very small house. We lived EXTREMELY frugally. We had no cars - took buses and metro. We bought food on sale and cooked from scratch. We did not pay for entertainment: we had no TV, cable, buy Starbucks, pay for movies, anything. We had pay-as-you-go cheapie phones. My husband's cousin gave him her old phones. We took furniture from people who left it out in the building's recycling room.

We are very happy with our life decisions, because now I'm dealing with autoimmune infertility and no amount of money can make me have another child. And now we live comfortably, on an income that most on here would find rather LOW. Comfortably, because we got used to living on so much less :-)

So a word to the wise. If you really want a child, meet someone and do it. The money will figure itself out. Your body might not.
