[quote=Anonymous]When I was dealing with this decision, I got the very good advice to live like I had kids financially for a few months, so DH and I sat down and found room for a nanny, diapers, formula, etc. In our monthly budget. We set aside about $4,500 from our budget, and put it into some debt and then just into savings. We did this for three months to see how not having the price of childcare and supplies would affect us day-to-day. We also budgeted $10 an hour every time we left the house evenings/weekends. It was enlightening for us. We ultimately did have kids, but getting our finances in order helped us prepare for that part of the.adjustment.[/quote]
