Does it matter how many children we have?

Many people say that on average from birth to 18, parents will spend about 270,000 on a child. Does this number seem fishy to anyone else. Is it really more expense to have 5 kids opposed to 3 kids? You sets that number? Is it possible that the sellers at different compartments set this number? They will definitely have an agenda! This number could also scare people away from having children. In America, we see the the number of kids someone has and think, wow that must be expensive, they must be struggling. In class, one lady is from Samoua, and the more kids you have the more wealthy you are considered.
