Lately a friend and I have noticed that most of the people we know are either pregnant or know someone who is. And I jokingly said that there will be a baby boom this year! She and most of the people I know are asking me on when I will have my own but I just always smile in return. It’s not that I don’t want to have kids but I’m not sure if I am ready for it, well I think emotionally I am but financially I doubt it.
With the prices of everything going up except my salary, it’s scary to think not being able to give the best for my baby. Brands like COSCO are quite popular with baby stuff like bedding and baby furniture. I have also this friend who recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Now, she is always browsing through pages of wonderful baby stuff on COSCO webpage wanting to be able to have on item for her little one. But she’s just happy to view and wish she can afford those items.
Is having a family now a day only for the rich? Well I am on the right age to settle down but not sure if we can afford starting a family of our own.
