I'll start, we try to save $500 dollars a month but it's really hard 🙈. We have one baby.

That's how much you put away each month?
How much do you make/live on each month??

I feel even more bad that there is no option or not saving. I did make one, but I deleted half of the options by mistake. Is there a way to edit it? I want it to be inclusive.

So unpredictable. I can’t choose an option because it depends on the month.

We are finally having a very long awaited baby BH. Just in time for food stamps to be massively cut down by over 75%. And extra car expenses —a few hundred a month. And one of my kids suddenly needs tons of help all out of pocket.

BH for savings but it’s scary seeing them dwindle. BEH I will find a new job after the baby gets here and this will all be in the rear view mirror. But it’s nerve racking living through this.

Yeah I feel the same way… I just posted what we try to save, but obviously some months are totally different

We currently have about $150k in savings but we're about to buy a house which will cut into that considerably. It's been an expensive venture but we're hoping it'll pay off in the long run
I have 1 toddler and having my second soon iyh

Was not insulted in the least Smile but if you do want to edit you have to pm a mod, or report your op to ask them to add options.

Wow hatzlacha! Were I live, the houses are crazy expensive, like 300,000 dollar down payments. We probably won’t stay here too long.
