Heated debate online began last month following the report of a pregnant Sichuan woman suffering from depression for fear of becoming a "child's slave".

It does not mean that children aren't worth the expense - it simply reminds investors and parents alike that they should be aware of the financial impact personal decisions can have on their financial situations, he said.
