People who grew up poor who had children, did you feel guilty about bringing a child into that situation? And how have they turned out?

Did I feel guilty? No.
my kids are still young. we may not have a lot, but we have enough so far they have turned out fine my oldest is 10 and he is a bright, kind and respectful young man I am extremely proud of him
Do you mean people who were poor at the time they had kids? People may or may not have grown up poor, and may or may not have been poor when they had children.
As someone who was born to poor parents: it sucked! We weren’t technically in poverty, but there was always a constant worry of whether the lights/water would be shut off. My mom really truly thought that love was all you need, and as long as we knew we were loved then we wouldn’t mind not ever having new clothes/shoes/backpacks/school supplies/field trips/toys of any kind/enough to eat/etc. Turns out constantly hearing about and facing the consequences of not having enough money fucks up your kids even if you love them.
