No one can afford any child. Yet everyone has babies.
Its not how much you have, its just that whatever you have you spend on your kids.
Dont tell me you cant afford another baby. You can afford it just fine. You just might not be able to afford that baby and keep the lifestyle youre currently enjoying with your first child.
This is america, you can work anywhere doing anything you want, or if you cant, the state will actually give you enough money to survive.
This issue is deciding if the baby is more important than the things you enjoy. Like say, the internet. Or cable. Or an expensive auto loan, or evenings out, or name brand foods.
My mom fed, clothed, and housed 9 people on my dads 30k a year income. Some how they never lost a house, went without a car, or took aid from the government. All while buying groceries for 9 people on 50 dollars a week.
Iam 23 and the oldest. So that will help you date that money.
Yeah we had nothing, but we didnt need anything either.
Dont let your hormones get the best of you. You're pregnant with an awesome perfect child, not losing your life to cancer.
Just dont do that pitty party.

If everyone waited till they could afford a baby, most people wouldn't have them.
I was in a horrible financial state when pregnant with my daughter and didn't enjoy the pregnancy as much as I wish I would have.
I just found out I'm pregnant again (12 years later) and things are better but I took a bit hit on finances in the last year. I just know everthing will work out. It did before.
I'm going to enjoy this pregnancy and I hope you do too. Remember, everything happens for a reason and you'll get through it.

A child is a blessing from God and i think if u knew about your financial status you should be more careful sexually. Try to have faith the lord will open a way for you enjoy your baby if not putting the baby up for adoption is an option. Remember he/she didn't ask to come here................

Count your blessing first off. First, you have a home. Second, you have one healthy, happy and (I'm sure of it, they all are) cute kid. Third, you have a roof over your heads. Fourth, you have food on the table. Fifth, clothes on you backs. Sixth, you have each other(something we really take for granted today). Seventh, well, do I really have to go on here or do you already have the big picture figured out? I give you my sincerest congratulations on your new baby and hope he's a boy!

Just work as hard as you can at doing things that can make you extra money. And pray... He listens! Good luck!
