One & Done: Only child
Help! :-)
Ok, I need your help here. I am 34, and will be 35 in Sept. I have a 4.5 year old. Currently I want another child, but logically, realisatically, financially, I need to be one and done. Mostly because we just can?t afford it. We have a lot of debt and due to our age, we don?t have much time to wait. This makes me sad, but I know it is for the best. Once my son is out of daycare we will be 1000 dollars a month richer and then we can finally get ahead. I know its not all about money, but it would be awful to get pregnant, have a baby, and then realize we can't pay the bills. Please give me some motivation to be one and done, so I can be 100% happy with my decision. Well, at least at peace. Thank you.

Thank you, Sonadora. That is so true :-)
Think of everything you'll be able to give DS because all of your resources are going to him.
You are giving him the gift of financial security. No, that isn't everything, but imagine growing up in a house where there is never "enough" to take c
