Would you have had kids if you couldn't

I guess I'm still astounded at the attitude that surfaced at another thread implying that if they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have had children. Of course, I'm a lazy, selfish mom at home who isn't working while some of my kids are in school so maybe my opinion doesn't count. Maybe I SHOULD take up scrapbooking to make my existence more worthwhile! lol
In any case, it is an interesting question considering that, under that reasoning, Oprah Winfrey shouldn't have been born. Give me time and I can come up with a whole list of highly successful and respected people who have impacted us in positive ways that wouldn't have been born had their parents decided that because they couldn't pay for college, they wouldn't have children.
How has the college issue influenced your decision to have children, if at all? Do you think it is an important criteria in the decision?

But you (though not pointed at anyone) said that marrying at 18 or 21 was wrong and stupid. . .and you'd do anything in your power to stop your children from doing so.
I don't hear the same things (wrong, stupid, over my dead body) about marrying a soldier or a police officer. . .at least not NEARLY as often as about marrying young.

I very much agree with that statement!
