[QUOTE="10fore, post: 16254058, member: 81652"] OP, If you do not mind me asking, what is the estimated timeline? If it is within the next year or two, start a separate savings account and make monthly contributions to help offset any costs you may incur along the way, and to help with expenses later on. I also highly encourage your wife to sign up for AFLAC or an equivalent so that when she’s on maternity leave, assuming that she works, she will still have some type of income. Daycare does get expensive, but as your child ages, the cost goes down. Make sure that you physically visit several and get a feel for each one before making a decision. We toured some of the highest rated facilities in our area, and upon inspection, knew they were not a good fit for us. (Lacking security, poorly trained staff, etc.) My wife and I were roughly the same age as you and your spouse when we welcomed our first child into the world, and it has been absolutely amazing. We actually have another on the way, less than two years later, and cannot wait. Speaking frankly, none of my hobbies, nor my wife’s, were impacted. I still home-brew a few times a month, tinker with our cars, and have a social life. Just because you have a child does not mean your life is put on hold. You just adapt and do things in a different manner. Plus, having a kid gives you an awesome excuse to not hang out with people you’d rather not see. -Tyler [/QUOTE]
