To be fair, he also said "if you are marrying a man that cannot handle the finances then you should not marry that man". Whatever way that sort of thing is handled has to be agreed to up front or there will be nothing but problems in the marriage. When i was a kid, it was my Mom who handled the money.

Having kids is a tricky thing. Arguably, most people dont have enough money for kids early in their life when it is the ideal time to have kids (or at least ot feels that way). Yet if you wait too long then you lose the opportunity. On the other hand, you certainly dont want to have kids when they would literally be starving.
