What's the Rush?

I just found out an old friend of mine is pregnant with her second child. She's been married for almost two years, I guess, and her daughter is somewhere around a year old -- and now she is pregnant for a second time. It sounds as though her biological clock must be ticking and she is therefore in a huge rush, does it not? The funny thing is, this friend is the same age as me: 20. Honestly, what's the rush when you're just 20? Sure, I have Aden and he's 14 months old, but I'm not in any rush to add to my family, or even to get married. I'm taking my life one step at a time. No rush to be had here (even if Richard thinks he's getting up there in age... but that's another tale).

I have another issue with this, though. Quite frequently, I see said friend's facebook status full of complaints about money and their lack of it. Why bring another child into the picture if you're having money difficulties already? I'm not sure if this second child was planned, but if it was, I'm thinking it was probably too quick. I don't talk to this friend often, so I guess I have no place to criticise, but really... is it wise to add another baby to the equation, when money is tight for everyone? I'm thinking that money may be the reason for a lot of families only containing one child. After all, money is a huge factor keeping me from even thinking about a second baby (as much as I do want one in the future). I mean... don't you want to be able to provide the best life possible for a planned baby? Everyone wants the best for the children -- at least as far as I know.
