As a father of 4 boys (5, 4 & 8month twins) all I can say is that you make it work. We are in a good deal of debt, but not beyond reason. I have two cars, both less than 4 years old and own a house. I also pay for my own college and am paying off my wife's student loans. Currently, formula and diapers (non name brand) runs us about $80 a week. I'm the sole bread winner and do feel a bit of pressure at times. It's really the same as getting a raise at work, you think of all this money, but your life changes rather quickly to adjust to the difference. Before you know it, you feel the same financially as you did formerly.
