Income to have a baby?

Question

What income would you feel comfortable having a baby at? And where do you live?

Answer

I live in central Texas near Austin. I’d say it would be hard to make it on less than 50,000 per year here. Comfortable would be closer to 60-70k

Answer

We live near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and my husband just got a raise to $46k a year. We have (almost) 4 kids, have a mortgage on our house and live within our means. When we had our first son, we were living on $29k a year and we made the offer on our house right before he was born.

Answer

We live in Canada and my husband makes 49000 a year and we have three kids all under the age of eight and I’m a stay at home mom.

Answer

Live in Texas and making 30,000 a year with one kid we made it comfortably but if you want more than one you will need more income.

Answer

Answer

we don't make a lot, but we are smart with what we have. we have a house, pay bills on time, have money saved, and I'm a nanny and allowed to take baby to work with me so I don't have to worry about daycare. 
we live in NH. it's a little pricey but my husband works two jobs.

Answer

We live in Canada and my husband makes 200, 000 dollars per year. We're comfortable. It's expensive to live in our town however. We have a 15,000 dollar nest egg for when baby is born to use while he's on paternity leave for 6 weeks. ( clearly we won't burn through that, my husband is an EXTREME planner).

Answer

It all depends on the amount of expenses you have

Answer

On average, I make $30,000 a year. Currently my husband isn’t working, but he finishes his masters in two years, which is when we plan to conceive. At that point, he’d be working as a mechanical engineer, which averages at a salary of $65-80,000 depending on the company and level of education. He’d be close to the higher end of that. At that point, we’d be comfortable with having a child. We live in Arizona.

Answer

I live in small town Minnesota and we make about $80,000 combined/year. After bills, mortgage, savings and extra curriculars, money is tight but pretty comfortable.
