[quote=Anonymous]We're in a good place with our 2 kids. But we got a lot of breaks financially and I'd be a jerk not to acknowledge them. For most people, the costs of housing, healthcare and trying to raise children are really tough. Our society doesn't do anything for parents. Women can either be pushed out of the workforce or they can try to navigate the daycare nightmare. That makes it kinda tough when you need 2 incomes to make it. See the US falling fertility rate, which made the news last week. No big surprises there. My husband and I both make decent middle class salaries. But just one would be tight. It's a good thing our kids are very widely spaced. We are going to try for a third. We can make it, but only because of the money we've been able to put aside over the years, due to the above mentioned good luck. [/quote]
