Median Household Size

Many people who were born back in the 1920s are from huge families. It was no surprise when someone was 1 of 9, 10 or even 12 children! But this day and age it is almost unheard of. And if it were to happen people would most likely be struggling with the difference in prices compared to the 1920s or even 1950s.

Consider the fact that right now, just to go to the movies it could cost a family of 4 almost $100. Tickets easily go for $10 to even $15 each and then the children are going to want popcorn, chocolate, sodas etc. And this is just the movies. Theme park prices have skyrocketed as well. Disney World’s classic park hopper pass goes for around $200- $250 each and for a family this could mean $1000 worth of admission plus the price of a hotel. Going out as a family used to be the highlight of times, but it quickly became an occasional event for the average family.

Presently, the average household has 2.3 children and that is it. Since it is so costly to have children families are noticeably slowing down. And the sad truth is that back in 2010, 1 million American homes were officially foreclosed. Times are hard, it is no secret that having too many children will only increase the burden.

Although the topic of birth control in any form can cause a huge amount of controversy, it is something people have to consider. If you have too many children there will be too many mouths to feed and there could even be a point at which you are forced to choose which child can do what and no one wants to have to be that parent.

In this case, it is best to see a local urologist Las Vegas for advice on family planning. Dr. Michael S. Kaplan has done over 10,000 vasectomies in the Las Vegas area alone. He does procedures without the use of a knife that can be done in less than 15 minutes. And he can even do same day appointments and procedures. If you were skeptical or worried about getting the procedure done before then Dr. Kaplan is the person to see.
