We're childless, but are trying to have children. However, I completely sympathize with those who remain childless by choice because that's what it all should be - a choice. I would be lying if I say that I don't enjoy our childless status as much as we do want to have children one day.

I can not tell you how many times we get that assumption. Worse than that, someone finds out what my husband does for a living and asks me why I bother working. Who cares if I have a career too. For the record, we aren't swimming in disposable income either, though we are comfortable.

Drives me crazy!!

Even I acknowledge that not all children grow up to be criminals

... too many do for my liking though

As per the topic... I can't stand the stereotype that all child-free people are rich. My husband and I get by, but we're not rich, not even "well off" most of the time. Just another reason not to have kids, because we really can't afford them (ontop of not really wanting them for a plethora of other reasons).

My wife and I probably wont have children.
I have one biological daughter from a previous marriage, but we likely wont have kids and we're anything but rich.
We do fine given our meager income.
I certainly wouldnt decide to have kids based on what someone outside her and I thought about the matter. Not a chance.
Do whats best for YOUR family and ignore anyone who tells you that you need to have children.
