Thank you comment icon "Big" family is not a well defined term. Some people would consider two kids a big family, others think six, and then there are outliers who feel you don't have a big family until you have 10+ kids. Then, what kind of lifestyle do you wan to live? If you want to take everyone to a 5-star hotel at Walt Disney World twice a year, you will need more income than staying at a campground near the Great Smoky Mountains. So much of this is dependent on what YOU want your life to be like that nobody can answer this question. Fred Rosenberger

Hi, Illissia,

Try looking up "cost of living" for particular areas that you are interested in living in. It will vary wildly from state to state and city to city. For example, a $40k a year salary for one person in Iowa is a liveable salary, but it will not cover living expenses in New York or Califorinia. This becomes even more true when you introduce even one child, but especially multiple.

Try looking at the Pew Research salary calculator to get an idea of what salaries constitue "middle class:"

When you have kids, there's so much to consider! You'll learn some things as you go, but remember, it's a significant choice. I found a helpful article online that you might like: https://www.verywellfamily.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-raise-5-or-more-kids-5075170#Where%20The%20Money%20Goes

Always keep in mind that you can choose who becomes a part of your life, so choose wisely.
