[quote=Anonymous]I would not wait just to have everything you want. The big wedding to me is least important - you can always plan a big party later in life. If you want kids, have them, and make it work. We ended up living in a 1 bedroom apartment for my daughte'rs first 1.5 years - and it ended up working out just fine. For the daycare years, we never ate out, drove to visit family for vacations, saved very little except for a down payment, etc - and it was fine. Kids are now in middle and high school and we live in a decent house in the middle burbs, give them all kind of fun experiences, go on international trips, save for college. They live a good life. Our incomes went up over time but nothing crazy. We stopped at two kids though because we knew we couldn't afford all this with three. I go back and forth on whether we should have just gone for the third.[/quote]
