[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also fwiw, babies don’t require very much. People are obsessed thinking a baby means a big house, a car, tons of material things. The first year, the biggest expense you actually need is diapers. (Outside of childcare of course.) but people go nuts thinking they need all kinds of things they just don’t. [/quote] Daycare can easily cost 15K a year. Moving from a one bedroom apartment to an available two bedroom one can easily be an extra 1K a month. That's already 25K extra a year, not to mention increased bills, reduced working hours if you don't have a 9 to 5 job and need to take care of your child outside that timeframe. Not sure if that's OPs case, but children can easily become a financial disaster if you're not a high earner. People who got help or who make a decent salary relative to their area's cost of living don't seem to realize this.[/quote]
