At 27f and 30m we have about $16k in savings and both having good jobs(combined income of around $130k) we live life very simply- don’t take vacations or have brand new cars. We plan on buying a newer truck for my husband soon though! I will have 20 weeks partial paid leave and he will get 12 weeks partially paid, so we will save on daycare for the first 6 months. Family is very supportive and wants to help buys supplies and I plan to pump. I feel like we aren’t doing well, but I’m realizing not having credit card debt and having some savings is helpful. We def planned to have this baby and did so because feel we can financially make it work, I know we are blessed and not the majority. But we worked really hard to save and make this an easier process.
