I have wanted a big family ever since I met Juz, I would happily pop out babies with him until I can't pop anymore. I am undecided on 4 or 6 and lucky girl I am, Juz says he is happy to give me as many children as I like. I would need to have one after the other since I am pushing 29 so it is unlikely I will be returning to the workforce for the next 8 years at least. Is it possible to have lots of children on one low income? We just qualify for all of FTB A and therfore get a healthcare card so that is how low the one income is. Does anyone else have several kids and manage at these levels? Will it be so much of a struggle that I may resent it?

The steps I am taking currently to offload financial pressure are
*learning to cook everything from scratch
*shop at op shops for my clothes (not great pickings here)
*growing a massive veggie patch

We get a LOT of help from Juz's parents but I don't want to rely on that and Juz along with his brother are set to take over the family business when his father retires but with his father loving work and being so active I would say it is very far off. A bit of a mumble jumble. My opinion is that you learn to manage with what you have but maybe I am dilluded?
