It's true. Children are an extreme financial burden;
However, children are also a form of retirement plan.
Think of all the errands and assistance they may provide when you're too old and feeble to do any of it yourself. Not to mention that a lot of old people tend to fight depression caused by lonliness - and having obligatory family gathering and just family in general tends to remove some of that.
