Any of you stopped to 1 DC because of money matters?

Do you regret not having more kids?

We have 4 and I wish I had thought a lot more about long term costs at the time. Obviously I don't regret having them but now they have hit the teenage years, costs are huge especially now one is at Uni and obviously we want to help him out.

No regrets..had 1 at 31...thought about more a few years later but decided with 2 between us dss from previous relationship,,a nicer life would be better...

We've had the 1 and won't be having more due to the costs, if we were to, we'd have to wait until she was in school (to avoid either 2 lots of nursery fees or losing a salary) and I feel I'd be too old.

Not yet and we're 11 years in. It's nice to be able to enjoy and afford our lifestyle as only one set of school uniforms, dinners, trips etc. He can try and after school activity, holidays etc. I think with more children, we'd have to share the funds and that would mean restrictions.
He can sometimes get bored, but have lots of friends round to compensate.

We have 1 and probably won't have anymore. If we do it won't be until DD is going to school so only 1 set of childcare fees.

I also need a few years back after maternity leave to focus on work and get my next promotion
