Having 4 kids is NOT frugal and contributes DIRECTLY to overpopulation.
Think globally, act locally, eh? In fact having 4 kids is EXTREMELY
selfish.


Not in the developed world - birthrates are at or below replacement level in
western Europe and North America, for instance.

As just about anyone who's ever had kids knows, having kids is about as
opposite to selfish as you can get - a halfway decent parent takes time,
sleep, wealth, and effort that could have been used for self gratification
and unconditionally turns these things over to another human being.

Besides, if you aren't going to spend the money you earn, who are you going
to leave it to when you die if you don't have kids - the government?
