[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I say this with kindness - if you wait to be in a million dollar home to have a baby, you’re not having a baby. Plenty of babies are born in rental apartments and live happy healthy lives.

Comparison is the thief of joy. There will always be people who are better looking, more successful, wealthier, smarter, luckier… you have to stop wishing for their lives and find a way to optimize your own. [/quote]

This.

I have a million dollar house now because of dumb luck, but my kids were 10 and 7 before we upgraded from a two bedroom two bathroom apartment.

It was hard to see others with the kind of houses I wanted for my kids (sometimes it was so frustrating to have kids that age of different genders in the same bedroom), but I made an effort to myself of the good things I had. And I am so glad I didn’t wait to have kids. I hate this phrase but ultimately everything turned out for the best.

The comments about all the good things you have are spot on. It’s fine to be bummed about not having the life you envisioned and worked hard for, but don’t stay in that state for long and keep it all in perspective. [/quote]
