I enjoy my life too and I totally love my daughter and can't think of trying to put money as the deciding factor in that determination. However I did only choose to have one child because I grew up in a VERY large family and know the sacrifices we made to get by. I didn't want to do that and thus chose to only have the one girl. I personally think deciding to have children or not is a gut feeling, a leap of faith approach and not an analytical one.

I agree with disneysteve that there is no easy answer to this question.
