Me and the husband
(leif) are getting a plan ready to start saving money for when the time
comes. Did you know if you save 20 bucks
a week you can save 1000 dollars in one year.
20 bucks a week doesn’t seem so bad. We actually used this method to
save for our last baby less vacation coming up this spring. We had a list of everything
we wanted to do before we have kids and we have done everything but zip lining
so lets hope we can squeeze that in on this trip. After our trip we are going
to start our baby ready fund. 20 dollars a week plus whatever else we can manage
to put away. The saving and buying small
things throughout the pregnancy is our plan so far. Not to mention we have lots
of loving friends that have hand me downs for boys and girls and kids that
range from 2 to newborns plus the two still in the oven. I’m thinking we can do this.
its so exciting isnt it! lol. buying stuff slowly is a very good thing, thats how i pay for hannahs birthdays so she can get what she dreams of and more. less stress that way too.
ReplyDeleteDefinatly don't be afraid of hand me downs if you can get them. I really wanted all new stuff (I think alot of people do with their first) but now see how much smarter it would have been to utilize the hand me downs. I mean I did take some, but I could have accepted more and saved money.
ReplyDeleteI love how you see the smart way AFTER the fact. LOL.
