However, I intend to be able to do both by sacrificing say, buying a new car every four years. And living in a modest home vs. piling my cash into a ginormous house. Not splurging on $400 game consoles & $200 jordans and such. It can be done as long as we remember needs vs. wants. Also, as long as me & future hubby can pay for at least some of their education, I'd be happy with that. I have a shytload of student loans and I don't want my kid to have to do the same -- or at least not to the same extent.

You know Im patiently waiting for you and the Mr to pop one out right? And yes saving is the best way instead of hoping that you'll be able to afford the new baby. This is something that new couples dont talk about. They should just as they would saving for a home and retirement. Conversations like these need to happen. Congrats on the site! I know you've been meaning to get it up and running! Hey girl!!
