It isn't nearly as expensive to have kids as you might think. Food when you cook is cheap. Clothing from goodwill is cheap.

The big-ticket items are labor (either paid childcare or a parent skipping an income, and then when they get older, extracurriculars, since just messing around unsupervised is so frowned upon) and safety stuff like car seats.
