The dumbest line?

"Kids are pretty expensive."

NOT TRUE. I have two of them. I could easily afford 5 more, and not miss a beat. As long as you're not providing them with their own rooms, a free college education (which is stupid, even if you can afford it), their own entertainment center, lots of licensed merchandise, etc.

Just keeping TV away from your kids will save you $thousands. Your kids won't want all that licensed merchandise crap! (They won't be nearly as materialistic in general -- with no advertisements to make them want stuff)

It is so absurd when a married couple puts off having children. It goes to show how the procreative and unitive ends of marriage have been reversed and abused.

MaterDominici, where can I find the information like how you posted above? I want to get a better knowledge and understanding of finances and economics. :reporter: :confused1:

The info on the credit score breakdown is from SallieMae.com. They sent me an email on "understanding your credit score" as I'm on their mailing list.

If you ever have a specific question about credit scores, Michael Solimanto is the one to ask as he's worked with them professionally. I'd be interested to know what he thought about their advice as (I think) I understand it to a certain extent, but have limited personal experience with improving credit scores.
