[quote=Anonymous]Kids never really get much cheaper (activities can cost as much as daycare), but life does get easier financially over time. You start seeing your money appreciating in your 401K. Little by little you pay off debts and have more cash left over (be sure not to spend it all!). You build a little bit of an emergency fund so you don't have to freak every time your car breaks down. I am definitely in a better place than I was 9 years ago when my son was born. No car loan, no student loan debt, 6-mo emergency fund, some equity in the two houses, 2 years of state college paid for, and several hundred K in a retirement plan. Not to mention furniture!!! Hang in there! [/quote]
