I don't think so. There is a possibility I'd consider #4 if DH wanted, but he also says he doesn't want to have a kid after he turns 40 and I'm not capable of gestating another child in that timeframe, lol.
For me yes. I could be like the Duggars and love it. I really want to adopt/foster after we are done having kids. The money would ensure we could pay for their college, add onto our house and continue to do activites/travel.
DH was done after two. The money would probably not change his mind.
Yes. We have two now and the possibility of a third is heavily influenced by finances. I would have four or five if I had a large enough house and could pay for all of the activities and camps I would want to put them all in. $20 million would still allow us to travel and do all of the things we would want to do with that large of a family.
If I had had $20 million at age 27? Sure, let's get the show on the road and have four. I am not sure how msniq feels about that idea though
The "Richistan" number is $50MM in liquid assets, but I am trying to figure out what you can do with $50MM that you can't do with $20MM. Maybe it's the difference between flying first class and taking private jets? Or having an expensive home vs an expensive home and an expensive vacation home?
Yes, I mean I have 4 & possibly may adopt 2 more. But if I had that kind of money (to spend, not networth!) & could hire housekeeping, cooking, nannying, driving out. Then I would probably stop TTA & adopt more than 2 (special needs especially). I think 8 would be my limit in total.

I don't think so. We might more seriously consider a third if we could afford to outsource everything and still maintain a decent level of travel, saving for retirement, etc, but really I think we would have needed the money sooner. Having it sooner may have made a difference in the timing of DD and DS, which in turn may have made us more open to a third.
