Apparently saying that people shouldn’t have kids if they don’t have the resources is bad.
Yes, please have kids for your ego. Whether they starve or are forced into homelessness or poverty is irrelevant ?
"About 15 million children in the United States – 21% of all children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty threshold, a measurement that has been shown to underestimate the needs of families. Research shows that, on average, families need an income of about twice that level to cover basic expenses."

"The Cost of Raising a Child Jumps to $233,610. The cost of raising a child has increased in the last year, according to a report from the Department of Agriculture. For a middle-income family to raise a child born in 2015 through the age of 17, the cost of rearing a child has hit $233,610, according to the report." Jan 9, 2017
