When is there ever enough money?

I know that if I would have waited to have kids until we were financialy ready that I would not have kids ever. I cant think of a time that I will ever have enough money to feel like I can do what ever I want in life. There will always be bills and things to spend your money one. I think the trick is to spend less than you make no matter what you make.

Financially stable only means being able to comfortably care for children without too much help from outside sources. If you obviously cannot take care of children because you can barely take care of yourself, then that obviously means you should not be having children right now. People that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year are finanacially stable enough to care for children because they can afford to put food on the table, buy them clothes and take them to the doctor.

Financially stable to me means you can pay all your bills on time. You can afford to put decent food on the table. You dont worry if you have enough gas in your car to get to work all week long. It means turning the thermostat in your house above 62 degrees during the day and not sleeping at night with it turned down to 53 degrees at bed time. I dont want to be rich. I just want to be warm,fed and secure.I think some people dont realize how good they have it until it is gone. That is what happened to us,my husband lost his great paying job and is having to drive farther every day for a lesser paying job. Thankfully right now we still have a roof over our heads though.

There is never enough money. As soon as people get more money they buy more things or create more bills so they will always need more money. Being financially stable enough to have children is another thing. People should be able to pay all there bills without struggling to make ends meet before they bring another mouth to feed into the family.

You are right, seems like people are always on a quest for more money, haha

oh well NEVER!!! ok now to be serious, really. there is never enough money. if there was bill gates would have stopped microsoft years ago oprah wouldnt do her talk show any more, and thats just to name a few. if the richest person is still out there trying to get money then i dont think there will ever be enough money. i dont think the money mint can even print enough money. enough money depends on the person, and like you said "even millionairs go on strike for more money." The answer is no there will never be enough money.

I think you are hearing most people say about financial stability. But if you hear the rich, you can't hear them about financially stable. What you hear is financial freedom. Meaning, having enough money and time to enjoy the lifestyle they want. I don't know if it answers your questions in mind. I hope so. If not, please accept my apology!

I have recently learned that financial stability never really does exist. You can feel perfectly comfortable today, but tomorrow that could all go away. Even for the extremely rich. Before I got pregnant with my second daughter I told my husband that I didn't want any more kids because I didn't feel financially stable. However, daughter number 2 came as a surprise. Somehow we found the money for what we needed and made the sacrifices necessary to do that. I think as long as a family can put food on the table, clothing on the backs of the children, and give the kids what they need, that is as good as it is going to get. Anything past that, to be honest, sounds like an excuse to me. It is hard to people to make the financial and lifestyle sacrifices a child requires, I think. Using the financial security reasoning simply means that the couple is not ready to give up the "things" they have. That's just my opinion, though.

I agreed with you so much! Also I want to say, money won't be enough for anyone, except who can live happy independantly.
