[quote=Anonymous]There is a German Saying "the baby brings the bread"

Most dual income parents miss that concept. The Baby is bringing the money if you let it.

In my case I made 69K a year when first was born. We had just bought a house (kinda a small starter in a second tier neighborhood) Avacado Green Oven and Vomit yellow dishwashser both from 1969 with Formica counterops with burns and Yellow and black bathrom a  Brown Toliet all of 1,300 sf. We put a  good downpayment on it. Realtors kept pressing up to buy bigger and better area. Instead we got this turd from a pre-foreclosure sale as is.

Well my wife decided to be a SAHM and left the workforce. She said I am happy this house if we never trade up or cant afford to fix it up much, happy driving my Camry from my single days I dont need vacations, or take out. I will sew clothes, cut your hair, whatever it takes. Of course I said yes. Funny on 69K no way I could make it work but she told me the Baby brings the bread.

Soon after got a promotion, then had second kid and same year a promotion, then year before third kid a promotion, then switched jobs right before birth third kid. I went from 69k to 369K in 7 years. The Baby brings the break, trust me. And I paid zero child care.         [/quote]
