People say not to wait to have kids... I dont know, and I doubt anyone can truly give you the right answer for you...

34 is not ancient, friends of mine started their families later than that, others way earlier. I would say right now a year is not the longest wait... how much can you get your deb down in a year? How will your budget look with maternity pay? Child care? Extra cost of said child/children?

Do a full SOA and people will be able to tell you where you can cut back and how soon you may be able to possibly be debt free...

Does anybody ever start a family at the right time ?

And how do you gauge just when "the right time is" ?

I'd just crack on and let nature take its course, life is too short to stick to endless deadlines worrying if you can afford it or not, my first child was born at possibly the worst time in our debt crisis, but we managed, and you will too.

I always think the best decisions are those taken on Impulse.

Smodlet,

I merely recognised the start of your sig & I have always liked the poem, so I thought I would share that with the community. It was meant to 'recognise' what good taste you had, rather than a slur.

Thank you so much, enjoyyourshoes, for the clarification. I thought I was being accused of defiling a work of art, literary vandalism or worse.

I am truly sorry I misquoted your signature. I shall remember in future and give credit where it is due.
