If you're not interested in children or finished having them, I highly recommend a vasectomy using modern techniques. It's a quick outpatient procedure with very small incisions. While all surgery carries risk, it is very low risk. Best $100 (with insurance) I ever spent.

My (now ex-) wife had a rough pregnancy, with our daughter ending up being born about 2 months premature. Her OB said that any future pregnancies would result in her being on bed rest after about 3 months. While we had originally wanted 2 kids, we made the decision that I should get snipped. Got it done on Thursday morning and spent the weekend playing video games with an ice pack on my nuts. One of the best decisions I've ever made.
