[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems trolly. No one gets a weekly massage and facial. [/quote]

I think someone made the whole thing up just to get a bunch of pages.  If the troll is savvy as to what sets off DCUM folks the pages just rack up, as they did here.[/quote]

And nobody who has had a job believes they don’t need a budget. Definitely a troll. [/quote]

OP here. She think we can manage easily on my income and our current savings and investments. [/quote]

You need to sit down together and look at your current rate of spending with all of the subscriptions, nails, massage etc and see how much money you'd have left over.   As others have said I'd also factor in other baby expenses since she might want to do activities with the baby as SAHM, plus clothes and baby gear.

Spending 1,000 on meal/food subscriptions on top of groceries seems really high. Can you cut a few of them? Do you need two different meal kits and a meat subscription?

My husband and I have always agreed to have a fun money budget and a budget for our children's activities

With his economy I'd recommend having a minimum of 3 to 6 months of expenses saved. I would not eat up my savings on consumables. [/quote]

Do NOT dip into savings and investments to live on. That is a very bad plan.

Unless you are trust fund kids or you both used to work some lucrative jobs and saved a few million already, you should not be going into your savings so your wife can stay home.[/quote]
