re: What is a good income to raise kids on?

As said early they are people real out of touch of reality and what really matters.

My parents raised 5 kids putting us though private school and helped with some college expenses. Also we all had a vehicle to drive when we turned 16. They did this with my mom being a teacher ($20-35,000) and my dad a farmer (?? honestly don't know what my dad made, $70-100,000. It depended on yields of crop and the price of grain every year). 5 kids, and we never had to go without things we needed. Also went to the beach every year for vacation for a week. My mom cooked most nights, ate lots of left-overs, and we rarely went out to eat but lived in a nice house with anything we needed. A couple doesn't need to make $100K each to be happy and raise a family.
