[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35 and 36 3 children ages 7, 4, 3, baby due in July Childcare costs 1,200 a month (spouse works limited part time) Want to move because current house/yard feeling tight. Not in dc and have about 2,200 sq ft [/quote] Feeling tight isn’t a good enough of a reason to take on more debt while you still have 6 figure student loans and are expecting your fourth child. You have no college savings for your kids either? [b]I think this is the worst financial move you could make. [/b] Sit tight for 2-3 years. Throw all your extra money at the loan. Pay it off then move. I honestly don’t think you will have another chance to get your financial feet under you with 4 kids if you don’t do it now. Unless you expect a big salary increase. [/quote] Actually that 4th kid is a pretty dicey financial move; we have the same number and understand why they are doing it, but own up to how it limits a lot of other options[/quote] Agree, but child 4 is already on the way. They don’t need to move right now. Wait until the kids are older. [/quote]
