Many had children in difficult situations, faced hardships, limitations, and even scarcity at times, but they overcame them. It's not the rule, I know, but if you wait for a favorable situation or a perfect moment, the right time, to have children, you'll never have one. I have three, and it wasn't easy. I often skipped meals so they could eat, and I can say with absolute certainty that I don't regret it for a moment. Today, the situation is a little better, despite the country I live in not doing very well economically and everything being much more expensive.

If you think about it this way, it doesn't just depend on you. If the country's economy is bad, your money won't mean much...

That story really shows what parenthood can demand, skipping meals so your kids eat is a kind of love that stays with you, and not regretting it says a lot about your priorities and strength.

National economy matters a lot because inflation and low wages reduce what money can buy, but small practical moves can still help, make a tiny emergency fund even if it’s slow, cut avoidable costs, buy staples in bulk when possible, look for school aid or community programs, and try to grow income through skills or side work that fits your schedule. Keep believing in the tradeoffs you made, they shape your kids and your future, and if you want we can make a simple weekly budget or list small steps to improve things without big risk, say which area you’d like to focus on and we’ll start.
