Opportunity Cost Of Kids

This mainly relates back to a couple of earlier posts.
One was by bongo2 (the one where he opines
those of us who suggest long range planning and family
planning
don't mix are "smoking dope"). Anyway, maybe it is because I took such a casual approach to long range financial planning for decades, but I just can't see it.
Planning your kids based on SWR/ROI seems a little
Orwellian to me.

There was also a comment from someone about
being "homeless", I guess because if you have too many
unplanned kids you may end up living under a bridge.
First, you could always call Habitat for Humanity and they will build you a McMansion FOR FREE. Whoo hoo!
Seriously though, some folks never get over the fear that they will end up homeless. I saw an interview with Larry David (co-creator of SEINFELD). He confessed
that to this day he still scopes out nooks and crannies
where he might live if he ever gets down on his luck.
Some of this childhood stuff just never goes away
I guess.
