I’m an asexual woman with a boyfriend. Although I don’t particularly like sex, I kind of would like to start a family with him and have kids with him.

I know I could just adopt, but I have no idea if I really have the money for that.

If you find sex uninteresting and not actively repulsive I might suggest natural conception using ovulation timing and the like to up your odds.

If the cost of adoption is scaring you then IVF and the like are probably going to be discouragingly high. Though I would mention that childbirth and rearing can also be quite expensive. Growing your family is a big financial commitment.
