Can you afford to have a kid?

Here is an interesting article about being able to afford to have a baby:
 
 
I just found it interesting because I would like to have a child but I am afraid of all the expenses. I also think a lot of people should think about finances before they have kids. I know sometimes things just happen but people really need to start thinking before they mess around. With this in mind here is another article about a family close to where I live (Flint, MI). The article kind of sucks but the comments after the article are entertaining and thought provoking. Sadly, it is a good illustration of what is going on in America today – the choices people have to make or just ignore. I don’t know who is trashier in regards to the article though – the newspaper (The Flint Journal) for running the story, the Mom and Dad that the article is about, or some of the people’s attitudes/responses.
