Poll - House or Baby
If you had to pick one or the other to have first... which would it be?

Re: Poll - House or Baby
I have caught the baby bug and it seems so much more "do-able" then buying a house. I am just scared that by time I can afford a house, I wont be able to afford a baby.

If you are in a home that you have space for a child then having a house is just a personal preference not a necessity!

LOL doing the deed is definitely easier than doing a mortgage!

Re: Poll - House or Baby
I think I would want a baby...since we have room in our condo for one..but, I would want the house shortly after..I could see it being annoying to raise a child in our condo..no backyard...not a whole lot of space for him/her to run around..ect..

Well we've got the baby and we have room for him in our co-op. But I want the house soon...

Re: Poll - House or Baby
We have the house, now we want the baby!!
If I had to go back and make the choice, well I would say Baby because it's proving much more difficult to get the baby than it was to buy a house.
Not always more do-able!

Re: Poll - House or Baby
Baby... and that is exactly what we are doing.
Humans are so much more important than material things.
I just want to add:
I was raised in a very small apartment- just me and my mom. Our relationship is amazing, she is my best friend. Babies don't need houses.. they need love, that is the most important thing.
I'd rather have a lifetime of love than a house. But thankfully, we don't have to choose.

Re: Poll - House or Baby
House! House! House!
I feel like once all of the expense of a little one comes along, we'll NEVER get a house, there'll always be something else! Plus I want to raise my kids in a house, not an apartment

Re: Poll - House or Baby
We had house before baby, but I think it's actually better baby before house because once you have the baby, you have additional expenses. Atleast you know exactly what you can afford and what your new budget will be. Also, you can go on maternity withuot having to worry about a huge mortgage.

Re: Poll - House or Baby
Man plans and God laughs..... ideally a house -- which we already have -- but, I would have taken a baby first had it happened that way...

Think about it if it was the other way around...you have a baby but can't afford a house. I guess its up to each person but I think I would rather have a house and save for a baby then to have a baby and be living in an apartment and not being able to save at all for a house because of baby expenses.

Re: Poll - House or Baby
DH always said we should save for a house before having a baby. With the prices of houses skyrocketing, we can save for years and never seem to have enough. If we go w/that plan, then we might never have a family.
I say baby first, and the rest will fall into place.

Re: Poll - House or Baby
This is a tough one...
Well Dh wants a house first...and there is NO changing his mind.
However, I am more flexible. I grew up in apartments so I have a different view. We have a two bedroom condo (small second bedroom), but ok for a baby. I would want a house by the time the baby is 2. I think it would be more affordable to have the baby first since we already have our condo. But, Dh is not budging on this. I have no idea when we will get a house, but I would like to start trying for a baby in about a year...so we'll see.

Ideally a house first but since this process is annoying and seems to be taking forever I'm starting to want the baby more!
