[QUOTE="WireEater, post: 13026952, member: 11027"] Oh, I had no idea what it was like. It's not like a didn't have a kid that I raised in my early 20's... :lol: We also never had an issue at the time when we were maybe making 30-40k a year combined when we started out. We were able to provide a very comfortable life for our girl. Of course when we had our son, we were doubled of what our income was starting out but I am trying to understand what exactly "financially" secure means. Unless you are extremely well off, you will never be "financially" secure but anything can happen at anytime to change that. Before I had my son, that was always my excuse then I realized it didn't make any sense. Unless you are homeless, or living at home with your parents, there really isn't a "wrong" time. I am raising 2 kids now on my own making only 1/2 of what we did when I was married and still am able to provide them a very comfortable life with everything they need. While kids are expensive when it comes to daycare costs, college, you don't need to be wealthy to do it. Take 20$ out of every check into savings for 17 years, part of their college fund. I'm not sure how some families do it but I will not be paying for all of my kids college. They will try hard to earn grants and scholarships and they will learn to take a loan and pay it off for their education, taste the real world. [/QUOTE]
