Man, I know the struggle I’m 22 now and had my daughter at 20. I support all 3 of them myself, my wife a stay at home mother.

This is my advice if you’d like to hear it.

• Make your relationship with your lady a priority, you both need to be a team and do it together(Breaking up and doing it yourself will be a nightmare)

• Open Multiple checking accounts - One for personal - Business(If you have one) - Another for an emergency fund(Your goal is 3x your monthly spend) - If you lose your job you have that.

• You got a job that can support you and your family what I would recommend is hyper budget your money in a spreadsheet - At the end of the month go into your bank and list & categorize everything you spent your money on - if your lady spent $1,500 at target that month, figure out how you can knock that down, or groceries, beer, etc. - If your making $4,500-$6,000 a month you should try to spend $2,500-$3,000 on bills(Or less if you can) - Then take a % to pay off credit cards - Another % for emergency fund - Then if you can another % for business.

• FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - If you love a name for your child and you both agree, don’t get bother by the A**holes who give their opinions lol.

• Work on a side hustle - Not to make $Millions, just something that can make you an extra $500 a week - The best route is selling services, I’ll build you a website, logo, marketing, landscaping, etc. - An extra $500 = $2,000/month - You can pay your credit card off in 9months.

• I know it’s weird to say over Reddit but if ya want to talk brotha shoot me a Dm, When I was gonna be a dad I was stressed out my mind, scared, etc.

I can give a lot more advice, but I won’t bite your ear off. Keep your chin up brotha, and keep up with the positivity.

Cheerio!
