Moneysaving or moneywasting

alamaya

I have a nearly 9 month old. So far i have kept everything not sold a thing.

Now i needed IVF for her and i will need IVF again in the future.

As you can see im in debt at the min. I am clearing it just slowly.

Am i stupid for saving everything for a future baby that may never happen or clever for saving everything and not having to buy it all again.

Although if i had the money i would love to buy all new again lol.

Any advice would be fab. xx

If you have the space you've nothing to lose by saving everything. Buying it all again from scratch is pretty silly, even if you could afford it.

Personally I would sell it and put in the IVF pot for the next baby, as even if your first baby was NHS funded then it's very unlikely that the second one will be and it's a huge amount of money.
Only if it would fetch a good price though, don't know what the resale value of expensive prams and cribs etc are

Plus it would upset me to have the stuff in the house whilst trying if you already know it will be a difficult road.

Pretty sure i could have put that more sensitively x x

i saved everything. i couldnt bear to throw anything out. it saved me a fortune next time around especially as i had another boy.

i think its a very very good idea to save it all.

Erm... sensible!! GOOD LUCK for the future and enjoy your little girl, they really do grow up so fast.

The baby stuff wouldn't make a dent in that much debt. So surely it's better to keep it in case you have another.
If you then do have another, it will save you alot and if you don't, you can sell it then, for about the same you would get now.
