I was one of two kids (my brother is 2.5 years older), 
I sometimes thought it would have been nice to
have another sibling or two since I wasn't close with my brother. I
realize that my parents had only the two of us because that was all they
could afford, they were practical in that sense. 

So, *if* I ever get married and *if* I have any kids, I think I would
want to balance economics with experience, and, naturally, the desires
of my partner. If I could *afford* to have more kids, I would
maybe like to have three or four, but if I could only afford one,
fine, it's quality, not quantity, that counts.
