I earn more than OH so I'm saving as much as i can to cover my side of bills.
It kinda worked out that if I get pregnant now how much could I save for bills till baby born and how many months would that cover us.
I'm an accountant so it's all on a spreadsheet lol!!
Basically longer it takes more money I have saved! xxx
Part of me wants to be preggers in about 3 months just so I'm a bit more financially secure but if that was the case i,e having enough money we'd never have a baby! Just means I wouldn't be able to spend money in Vegas! lol! x

canockmom and piggypops im hoping that will happen to us second time round too! its our first, so major costs involved its not even really the nursery stuff etc, its mainly just to cover bill swhen im off on mat leave, as i i smp for first 6 months, but i can take a whole yr, just wont get paid anything for the 2nd 6 months, so having to keep money aside for that really
I currently work full time and so does OH but we just dont seem to have any money left after bills etc so we are both thinkin of trying to get some evening work (mad I know) . It would mean not seeing each other as much for a while and being exhausted all the time and struggling for a bit but I think it will be worth it if we can get a bit more money put aside for baby and house etc.
Has anyone else done this? How did you find it?
