[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 kids is a sign of success in this area.  It's a keeping up with the Joneses move for a lot of people.  [/quote]

3 kids is definitely a "luxury" in this area. 
I know many, many families who stopped at 1 or 2 because they couldn't afford a another child.

While a luxury it can be done if priorities are set up at the beginning. I have coworkers who have 4 and 5 kids. The guys make about $120k and the wives stay at home. They live in not too big houses in not awesome school districts and homeschool and don't vacation outside of some family trips. Always bring lunch, drive old vans. The kids are adorable, well behaved and seem content but I doubt anyone goes to any camp or non church event ever. It's their choice and their families. Don't know about student loans for those coworkers but I highly doubt it as most went to state schools for a STEM field and had our company pay for grad school. [/quote]
