I think that you are coming to a realization that starting a family is usually not a fancy job, it is in many ways a sacrifice to your ego. You say that you are from the 3rd world country and yet you have an idea that you first have to get a proper job and money stability, and then start a family where you buy your kids everything they want, but that is the American Dream that you have been fed by the American movies and TV shows.
So you probably have to look around yourself and see how people around you are getting by. They are probably not living the American Dream. Some are probably having kids without even having a job. The truth is people get by as they can - remember, it's a sacrifice to the ego.
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"
