Hey everyone! My husband and I have been talking for the past six months or so about starting to try for our first baby. We have been going back and forth about weather or not we’re truly ready to both have a child & give them a comfortable life - That’s why we’re posting here! I figured that I will give a little background on us and we would love feedback about folks who have been in similar situations or those who did it and didn’t think they could!
We have a mutual supportive and compassionate relationship and we feel fulfilled for the most part (My husband is a bartenderniw but wants to get something a bit more 9-5 so that he can be more present for our family and hopefully find us better health insurance).
We have stable jobs, put approx 1/4 of our paychecks into saving, own our home(With a mortgage), and don’t have much exorbitant spending. Our savings would support us for five months without any income. We do not unfortunately have great health insurance ($10,000 family deductible) & I worry that if something crazy happens it would be very difficult.
We feel emotionally ready, but definitely feel concerned about the financial aspect! What are everyone’s thoughts?
