Sweets, you defiantly DONT have to be rich, I can attest to that!!!

But I agree with most here, you DO need a stable income. Centrelink wont cut it.

We are very lucky now, we both work from home!! So we get to get by with only average money, and be home with our little ones. We love it.

Our kids do go to a Catholic school, but its not too pricey up here, and it gets paid in installments. So easy to do.

They do get hand me downs, but end of season clearouts are awesome too!!

I would never change it. They dont need all these toys and crap, they always have someone to play with!
And everyone wants to be at our house.. its bigger, and already has a party of people in it, so fun times!!
Holidays are awesome, and cabins are so so cheap.
Having a big family can be done easily, you just need to be smart about it.

It can be done babe, good luck with your larger than average family, it ROCKS!!!!!!
