A friend of mine lives in a small one bedroom apartment with her new husband. They have a lot of debt so they cannot afford a two bedroom apartment.
Their apartment is 500 square feet and they have two cats living there too.
The husband wants to wait another year until they pay off their $5,000 credit card debt and stop living pay check to pay check. The wife (my friend) wants to get pregnant NOW.
She said she will have the baby's crib and toys in her room and may move in a few years to a place with two rooms. So their child will share their room along with two cats.
I think its unfair to the baby. Yes the kid won't need his or her own room for about a year, but I think its irresponsible to not wait and give the child more in life and pay off debt before you have a child.
I didn't tell her how I felt, I support her regardless, but I don't think she will be able to pay off any debt for a long time with a newborn child!
Do you think this is fair?
