I'm not sure but you'll find a way to make it. A lot of faith and prayers have helped us. I don't think we would ever be ready financially to have a baby until years and years down the road. You learn to live without certain things like lots of nice new clothes or eating out often.<BR/>I don't know how people are buying houses and brand new cars. We see people living around us who are still in school and we are sure they are in massive debt because of their extravagant purchases and we wonder the same things.<BR/><BR/>What sacrifices are they making to make that work? We lived in a one-bedroom apartment, relied heavily on our ward and friends for childcare and realized that being an "A" student wasn't the highest priority (family was). We managed to live on one student part-time income but also enlisted help from WIC and medicaid. I'm not saying the government is the answer if you don't feel like living within your means, though. <BR/><BR/>Really, I can't answer any of your questions...Sorry.Blake and Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431379196120763025noreply@blogger.com
