I don't have any children, but I have pets. 11 cats and 1 horse so I understand the need for budgeting the household finances. We do have three vehicles for just the two of us, but all are paid for. Mine is a 1978 that we've had for 16 years, husbands two are a 1975 (<1 year) and 1997 (5 years).
We don't see the need to keep-up-with-the-Jones' trend of one-upmanship in the possessions department. We keep our things in good working order and they take care of us.
I have to agree with you...if they aren't going to raise their kids, I don't feel people should be having them. Problems arise when the TV or strangers are raising them.
Unfortunately, my idea of having to be licensed to become a parent will never fly...too many crack-heads would lose their welfare.
