How is this list missing Cheerio`s lol before I traded my last f150 in I must have found 2 boxes of loose Cheerios.
When the baby or babys come so many other bills will come with them, then a place to live or bigger place to live ect.

 

I think I'll pass on having kids.

 

Keep what you have and start saving. Once the baby is on the way you'll have 8 months to find a new truck. Pay CASH for whatever you want to get and don't go into debt !!! Your wife WILL want to quit and stay home with the baby, don't make her go back to work just to service debt. FWIW my kids a 5 & 2.

 

Raoul if you get a new truck, i call dibs on your truck, wooden bed rails and all



But as far as decisions, i have two trucks, one that looks great slammed, one stock and can do anything with. And i want to get a third car as a beater DD for trips to work etc. And a 4th vehicle as a new project once im done with Fiddy

 

As someone who (according to my wife) has way too many vehicles, I can tell you that "5" is the number at which they become a PIA......

 

they = vehicles
they = wife




FWIW my wife still has two cars because no one wants to buy her POS old S10 Blazer

 

Good add on.....I knew there was something I forgot......

 

You're going to need more parking......

 

4yrs + 8 months, that's enough to have a good down payment.

As for the wife going back to work, if she doesn't go to work, or doesn't lose the pregnancy fat, then I'll just divorce her.

 

What ever happened to that V-6 Flareside that was sitting out back of the shop?

 

I just went through the same thinking. My wife and I are going to start trying within the next year. I went ahead and traded my 02 Scab in for an 06 Crew Cab. Her Escape will be paid off buy the time a kid comes along and I won't have to many payments left on mine.

 

We have a 2010 Mazda 3, that'll definitely be paid off before a kid comes around. The original plan was to pay my truck off, and take my monthly payment and just add it to hers to pay her's off faster.

 

the owner came and towed it away

I kept offering cash in hand for it.....
