My wife is an only child and when we broached the topic she always indicated at some point she would like to have kids.
A couple of years after getting married I started to ask when we could start a family. She continually informed that she wasn't ready yet. It made sense, we were still pretty young and none of our friends were really even married yet, never mind having kids. I figured she just didn't want to be left out of the "fun" while everyone else was enjoying their freedom.. made sense to me. Fast forward another year, I would ask again, still no. Then another and another, still no. I was definitely getting a bit frustrated to say the least. Finally, about 6 years after getting married and only after a couple of her friends decided to start trying she felt it was time. Fast forward 3 years and multiple fertility tests and we find out that she has some health issues which are going to make it very difficult for her to conceive a child and carry.
I know I am probably coming across with a slightly bitter tone, because truthfully I am slightly bitter about this. However I will say that all you people complaining about being married to women who can pop out babies like a pez dispenser are making me sick. :P
I'm not giving up hope yet, as we aren't exactly over the hill or anything, but I'd love to have your problem any day of the week :P

That sucks man, and I'm terribly sorry to hear it. When I speak of another baby being a huge problem, I certainly don't classify that on the same level as
actual problems.
As for the money thing, daycare is a huge drain on the budget. Thankfully it's the worst up front and then gets gradually cheaper over time, so you get used to living on KD and dreams and then slowly get bits of your money back.
