As the father of a pre-teen girl, I can tell you quite emphatically that the answer to that question is NO!

This thread has wandered all over the place. The orginal question has been answered. Yes, it is cheaper not to have kids.

Other issues have come up: Should you have kids? When can you afford to have kids? Is it okay to just have one kid? Etc. Those are totally different issues and there is no right answer to them. It is a personal decision. Let's leave it at that.
