My first unsolicited Father's Day gift.
Priceless. I am out of point? Quite ex. We bought insurance for him, had an endowment plan for his university, cord bank on top of the most hefty expense of education.
I think it will add up to a thousand a month? At least?
He has no tuition by the way, only swimming lessons.
If u want a child but worried about your finances, u should, if u are in bad debt.
But if u are thinking about saving 60k or X amount before having a kid. I say forget it. The older you are, the lower the chances.
My friend wanted "stability" before marriage. He told me the 60k to
Pay for this and that. That was 6-7 years ago? 2 years ago I was his "brother" for his wedding.
Recently, he told me he married too late and is very worried about not able to have a child.
Not everything can count by dollars and cents.
If my 1 month $1000 get compounded by 9% PA, when will I be financially free?
I don't know. I have no regrets, only happiness.
I worried about money too. Regular readers know I don't have much savings after every month. I have a car and a maid, your typical pampered Singaporean who is a bad example in the financial bloggersphere.
Turn back clock, I will try for a second child earlier. No regrets with having my son.
Hi SI,
ReplyDeleteIt's still priceless. No amount of money can buy it lol
Er... LP,
DeleteCan I say something very off? I am willing to pet with it for 10 k LOL!!!! U want to buy??
Arh!! Money! Not shoes. Who throw at me.
Sillyinvestor,
ReplyDeleteWhat we are today are the results of decisions we have made (or did not make).
This is life.
We choose our own poison; and let's drink with no regrets!
Cheers!
Yes. SMOL,
DeleteWe are where we are for our choices. Even if there is regrets, lets suck our thumbs after that drink and move on.
Cheers!!
We never know how we will turn out eventually until a nail goes to
Our coffin
Worry less about money
ReplyDeleteI want to have a kid also can't
Now almost imposible.
I pity for my Husband if not because of me, he will have a happy family with kids now.
Maybe we should not married in the first place.
Yeh,
DeleteRead for SMol say. I said if I can turn back clock. But there is not if.
Only I will.
It might be a blessing for all. Not every "normal marriages" are blissful
Think too much over money stability and money not enough will likely to stay single or childless.
ReplyDeleteLater decide to marry at 50s and likely to be mistaken as grandpa. :-(
Hmm... Mistaken as grandpa means still very power lei CW.
