Shouldn't you make sure you will be financially able to raise a large family before doing so?

I mean having 1-3 children when you're poor is one thing, but 4, 5, 6 and beyond?
It's not like his kids are going hungry. Not being able to donate large sums of money to the chapel is not the same as being financially unable to raise kids.

Seriously, if struggling and lots of effort meant "you are too poor to have a family" and everyone followed that advice, it would literally be THE END at least in America and Europe.
Open your eyes and do some research about the value of the dollar (and other fiat currencies) over the past 100 years, home prices, the price of college, wages, etc. It will horrify you.
I'll give you a hint: those poor and unemployed people aren't all to be blamed. They aren't all a bunch of lazy bums.

12 Luke:

 [22] And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on. [23] The life is more than the meat, and the body is more than the raiment. [24] Consider the ravens, for they sow not, neither do they reap, neither have they storehouse nor barn, and God feedeth them. How much are you more valuable than they? [25] And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?
[26] If then ye be not able to do so much as the least thing, why are you solicitous for the rest?[27] Consider the lilies, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these. [28] Now if God clothe in this manner the grass that is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more you, O ye of little faith? [29]And seek not you what you shall eat, or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.[30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
[31] But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

I am fully aware of all the problems that you mentioned, having gone to college “because it was the logical next step” and acquiring debt.
Struggling and effort are not the same thing as being poor.
