Mo money, mo problems.
It's crazy how you adjust to more money or less money. I love hearing people say they are waiting till they are financially ready to have kids. Guess what, you never are. You just adjust accordingly.
I used to weigh every single purchase. I mean I'd have an internal battle over stopping at the gas station for a mtn dew. I don't miss those days at all.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with that.
I don't have kids yet, but I feel a lot more "financially ready" now than I did a few years ago when I started my career. I'm sure I could have made it work a couple of years ago, but now I feel like I would definitely be OK.
Honestly, I'd still like to even hold off a couple of years for financial and social reasons, but I could handle it if I had to. I'd like to either be in a house or have a significant down payment for a house ready.

a little different for us. My wife was told by her OBGYN she'd likely never have kids unless we did hormones/in vitro. after 10 years being married my super sperm overcame the odds, twice.
Being financially stable isn't everything, but it damn sure helps

You're right to an extent, but who wants to have a kid while still in school? We'll be much more financially ready to have kids when we're both done with school and have two incomes, than we were when we were first married, living off of one income and paying both of our ways through grad/professional school.
