Meh, The Wife and I did it a conservative way, and we see it's hard. Let's say you don't want to go into debt - just to address the OPQ. Well...you can buy a house without going into debt. I bought 3200ft2 and 5 acres with an option on an adjacent lease for 20k. It's just that it was a shithole when I bought it - took years to clean it up. Had to be re-wired and all the plumbing is brand new...because copper.......but........ I'm still dealing with a speptic tank that was never built to code and could never be built to code....

Thing is, people have as many kids as they want. Not more, not less...generally. It's not and never was about whether you "had the money"...or the situation was ideal. If you're listing off the fiscal disadvantages to children as though it mattered...go with your gut, and don't have any.

Because it doesn't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My vote is to breed. Or just practice, practice, practice! Enjoy!

Yeah, he can always live in the country where it's cheaper. Heck, many villages in Europe (especially in Italy) are giving houses in abandoned villages for free (ok, for 1 euro), even Lorraine Bracco took one in Sicily.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
