Having kids doesn't change the math. That's MMM's point in the post. It's all about savings rate. Kids mean it is harder to save 35%, but the math doesn't change.

I'd add that even if you aren't able to live on 35% for 10 years straight you shouldn't fall into the mindset that it's not worth aiming for at all.
