now a days, life getting harder and harder..so we need to cut everything, from the daily expenses, luxury, and things needed at home and even personal things... getting married is hardest thing..but when u are already there, how many children you want you need just a child in order to support the needs when grown up..only one focus.. do you want small or big family? why ?

I want 3, I have one child right now. I just can't see myself only having him. Everyone tells me 2 is the right number, but I don't like people dictating how many kids I should have, but again I never go with the norm lol. I grew up poor and I was mostly happy as a kid, money can't buy you everything! As long as my kids have a roof over their head and food in their belly we will be fine.

of course but we also need to think their future, like good education, good health...and the best things which we haven't had in our life.. ...for me, a girl and a boy if God will permits...i want the best for them..

A small family is better for your budget. it also gurantees a better quality of life or those you feed and educate. you can afford to send your children to th best schools, and dress them respectfully! So I will certainly go for that, infact, I have just two children!

I want 2-3 kids. I think that's not too big nor too small. If we have too many kids, we may not be able to support them the way we want to. We also want our son to have at least a sibling, because when we are old and die, they will be there for each other.

I would like to have four children. I have two right now and if I can go through two more pregnancies I'll have the family I always dreamed of. Of course I thought I'd be younger when I started my family so that might affect the outcome somewhat. There will be days when I have to pinch pennies, but I just enjoy the children so much, and I have so much love to give them. If God only gives me the two I have then I am content, but two more would be extra blessing.
