[quote=Anonymous]Advice from a few years in: Learn to repair your own house. It’s amazing how many bad contractors are out there. Many have 5-star reviews because they are timely, courteous, and the job looks pretty. We have found that it’s often not up to code. My husband does 95% of the work on our house, and it has saved us a TON of money. Start researching home repairs now, and get familiar with code in your state. That way, when you go to buy a home, you will be looking with educated eyes. Not only will you avoid buying a money pit, you’ll save on repairs. In addition, prioritize paying down debt and having an emergency fund. One kid is 50 times easier than two. I was shocked. If the time comes and you can’t swing two, you’ll love your one and only. Promise. You sound very responsible. I know you will make good choices.[/quote]
