[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare is optional if one parent makes a good (enough) salary and has health insurance. The other parent can stay home. Buying a house is optional. Rent an apartment (we lived in a one-bedroom until our first was one) instead of buying a house. Only have one car. Don't buy all the fancy baby stuff. If you don't want to do this, don't. Roll the dice and wait until you are older. But don't complain that you can't afford to have a child. You just don't want to live cheaply or slightly uncomfortably. [/quote] I don't know any men in their 20s that make enough money to provide for a sahm and kids, plus saving to buy a house. DH and I made great salaries by our 30s, but in our 20s we both made like 75k. It was good when combined at 150k, but we couldn't have lived off of 75k total. [/quote]
