Why do so many conservatives think it's okay to breed a dozen kids? This is not the 20th century. Get some self-control. Use a condom for pete's sake!
Children do not strengthen a marriage, unless that marriage is already on bedrock. Financial problems is most often identified as the issue that broke a marriage up. Having more kids is going to make you poorer not richer.
If you can't afford to put two kids in college, you aren't going to afford a third. Before you let yourself get pregnant, do a budget and see just exactly how much money you spend just taking care of yourself. Now multiply that by 33% and add that on for each new child you're even thinking of having!
If you need 20,000 dollars to take care of two persons, then it will take 26,000 to take care of three, and 32,000 to take care of 4, at least.
In some things, more people means even more expenses than just food, because you can't get away with a small apartment when you have 2 children when you could with 1. Houses are more expensive than apartments. So you also need to figure that into your growing expenses.
If you think you might get pregnant with a condom or the pill, then get your tubes tied. If you love your children, don't have more of them. Take good care of the ones you already have.
