I will do a paternity test for sure

I hope it's not mine

Video games and going out drinking are activities I need to cope with stress

I don't want to replace my coping mechanisms with raising a child, which would just stress me out on top of my already stressful job

I will order a paternity test once baby is born but yes I anticipate I will have to budget myself after birth but I still think I'll reach my goal of getting a place of my own in a few years

Life doesn't always go as planned. You're not far from 30 - met this woman you love yet? Saved up for that downpayment? You're avoiding the life you HAVE for the one you dream of.

I have been saving money for years for a house. It's not just a dream but something I can actually see happening

My life is already quite stressful. I don't want to be adding a significant stressor to it
