How did your household income/potential income influence the number of children in your family? Did you and dh stop at a certain number of kids because you wanted to be able to provide certain things for each child?

I would think that with four children and homeschooling you would have to be.

"Yes how *does* that work? Particularly if she went to school in CDA (not sure if she did) as its less expensive as a general rule. Regardless, I don't know *anyone* who didnt pay off their college debt in their 20's who made a good living!"
It works because although I said I made a six figure salary; I;
a) only made over six figures for the last 4 yrs of my career; actually 3 since I was on mat leave for 10 months of the 3rd year
b) got my first "real" job (that I would consider a career) when I was 25 and it I believe I made $18 000.00 that year less taxes...I recall my paycheques being something like $685.00 take home every 2 wks. I was a single mom and worked my way up over the next 9 years plus years with only the last 4 being years of six figures....
I didn't make a good living in my 20's and never said I did Myshka.
Side note; I didn't pay towards it for several years.
Psst...pretty much everyone does, at least in my experience.

You don't use rounding on your tax returns?
