[quote=Anonymous]Also depending on your field, kids may be a motivation to make a higher income (esp for men). When we decided to have kids, we made about 105k and lived in a 2 bed apartment that was 1800. We found a home daycare that was about 1800k a month (note I’m in the chicago area). Within a couple years, our household income grew to 240k and we moved to a starter home that we just sold and brought our forever home. Part of it is that kids motivated us to take risks and make more money. I think the biggest advice I would give is not to have too extravagant of a wedding if you can help it. Would stink to be in debt for just one day. [/quote]
