Here's how it works: It's your life, and you are supposed to support it and provide the means to sustain it.
So...every person must decide for himself when he feels he is ready to have children.
So, another person who simply will not define what percentage of your income reaches the golden line of "ready". Is a couple who has $600 left over for leisure after $1,600 in expenses financially ready to have kids when raising a kids can easily cost $1,000 a month? What factors define financially ready? It will save you 10 pages of bull****ting if you just say "Look, financially ready is a term we've made up because we haven't actually raised children. We just know it's not attainable by the middle class or the lower middle class or the lower class once it's defined."
