Wow. This thread has altered my thinking.
I am married and an entrepreneur for the last two years. My wife and I have been putting away expanding the family thing for while, basically waiting for our startup to reach either profitability or a level of funding where I could draw a salary.
How did you guys manage the expenses? Were you drawing a salary or had sufficient revenues to support yourself when your wife was off work/due?
- ars 13y agoYou don't have to actually wait until after you have all the money you need. It's much easier to have kids when you are young, and as long as you have prospects for income you'll be fine. If you wait till after you are perfectly set it will be too late. Realistically - if your startup failed, could you get a job? If yes, then there is no need to wait, you are set for money.
- tzaman 13y agoThere's hardly any expense with one baby, all you need is a stroller and a car seat ($1k combined), you'll get plenty of clothes (as gifts) from relatives and breastfeeding comes free :) So if you and your wife manage now, you'll manage then just fine.
