i want everyone honest opinion what would you do?
i have a 4 year old and a 15 month old. their bdays are in november and december. and if i got pregnant this ovulating cycle the baby would be born mid november.
me and my husband always wanted 3-5 kids. my husband makes $42,000 a year with out overtime but is due an annual raise soon. we make it ok and if i had another baby the only thing extra would be diapers because i will breast feed and we have saved a large amount of clothes from my other children one boy and one girl. i have all the things such as crib, changing table, high chair ect...
*can you think of something else ill need?*
i think i am ready but not sure if its a good idea so soon? oh ive also had 2 c-sections and would most likely have another.
im not going to solely go off of what everyone says here but i guess i have the baby fever and want some things to think about before i make my decision this ovulation cycle! thanks
**please ask me as many questions as you can to make your vote**
I think it is a personal choice based on what you want. If my husband made in the $40K range I would freak out! There is no way Id have another baby if he made even 5 times that. I want a certain lifestyle. If that lifestyle isnt important to you, go for it. Its pretty hard to answer for anyone else.
My husband and I let the babies come as they may :P. So I say if you can afford it then go for it.
Quoting SarahLizyB:
Do you have savings for retirement and your kiddos college? If not, no more babies
we started savings fund last year for our children they take out 150 from each of my husbands checks. he has a retirement through his work and im still in school so once im graduated and working ill have the same.
That's a question only you and DH can really answer. If you think that you can afford it, go ahead. If you want to be able to not worry about finances, save up until you fell more comfortable. You have to do what feels right for your family.
I do not think that 42K a year is enough to support 5 people. When will you go back to work, if at all?
Do you guys have any outstanding debt? Credit cards, student loans, mortgage or car payments?
