[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. We're an upper middle class family. I looked at my historical budget and see that my 4 kids cost me an extra $100,000 per year. That's net after tax, so really, we have to earn an extra $150k gross to support them. It was about 70k with just 2 kids. I had NO idea before I had kids. But now I really understand why people are forgoing having kids. It is a total sacrifice[/quote] Such a sacrifice. I wonder if I would feel this way if I lived in a country with a better social safety net.[/quote]
