Is it smart to plan a child before you have an apartment of your own?

Question

I live in a small appartment, but I'm planing to build a house with my boyfriend. Is it smart to plan a child before you accomplish all materialistic needs you have.

I will never get married-my personal decision

Answer 1

Finish the house first. Children are very expensive plus your life would be less hectic without having to worry about getting the house finished.

Answer 2

You will never accomplish all your materiallistic needs . There will always be something else that comes up or need. It would be easier to settle the house issue first. Babies are expensive as is child care if you both work. It would be wiser to work a little harder now to settle getting the house established first, maybe even work extra hours to put forth into your very good investment together. You should also marry before planning the baby despite your plans together. Insurance for a baby is another factor, whoever has the best insurance can be primary coverage once married. Since babies are expesive and hopsital / medical costs will also be arising you should take care of getting the house built first and put aside a fund for the baby in a savings account while dealing with the house.

Answer 3

I would say it is smart to go ahead and plan for a child. If you are wanting to do it in the not so distant future, planning is always a plus!! I'm not even married yet and we're planning already! I don't see us trying to conceive for probably another year either.

Answer 4

I don't see a problem with it, but realize that babies cost a lot of money and it will probably take longer to build your house. Good luck.

Answer 5
