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]

I agree. They just say "money" because it is easier than talking about things like how they hate kids, how they might have health problems that prevent them from having kids, etc. [b]I don't know anyone who actually didn't have kids because of money. It's just a convenient lie.[/b][/quote]

You might not know people like this, but many of us do, as I am one of those people not having children because of money. Also, many people don't like talking about money problems either , so you might not aware if someone if heavily indebted or making much less money than you assume they do.
