I think MadB has said it perfectly. I got the advice from all my friends that had children that if you think about it too much you can always come up with a reason not to have children... in the end you just have to take the plunge.
In saying that, because I ended up having to use IVF by the time we had our DD we had saved a lot of money. As soon as we got married we started a savings account for our future child. But we have actually not touched this money at all - we will be using it for her future schooling requirements. We have always just found the money, and we had the added expensive of IVF (so she cost us a lot more than the average child up front!)
Good luck with your decision.
