@lareina_kk yes your right I need to really practice on this issue !

@verguinia it takes practice. Fast food adds up too. Thats where my money went today too. I was starving and forgot to bring a snack with me. You can do it 😊. Also food banks help too. Thats what they are there for.

@verguinia Yes that's so true.

@lareina_kk yes saving is important I feel everything is so expensive because truly I just had $100 this morning went got some milk bread lunch box for my daughter and a McDonald's breakfast and filled my metro card and I have like $45 left I feel horrible because I didn't even but much I don't know how I'm going to save :(

@themomof4 me toooo!

@bbyzvcy18 I like the way you think!!!! No I didn't want a baby shower because when I did my sister baby shower I realized I spent the sa.e amount of money for the baby shower tjstvi could spent on buying everything I like and need myself. Also the baby shower friends never look at the regestary a d will only buy clothes I need a crib and stroller and swing ! But I know after baby many visit and usually not empty handed so I made little take home thank you ornaments for future visitors instead !

I love being prepared.

@verguinia I know!!!! I understand you!!! Im exactly in the same situation dear 😢😂. Yes, i did noticed that our little girls are not so little anymore, hehehe and here we are with our 2nds... Yeah!!! Atleast this time around we WILL be prepared and not reliant on others. Yes, friends and families did tell me not to over prepare but before i knew it i was packed high with stuff, and then after tge baby shower i was more then ready. Did you have a baby shower? Or going to have one?

@themomof4 that's good ! I got everything but hasn't been opened yet and the baby clothes haven't been washed so I can't pack the hospital bag yet my boyfriend said in the end of May we will start the washing and building stuff :)

@bbyzvcy18 lol I tried to add you and pressed the button but I had already added you so now it unadded you I didn't even know that was possible ! So I added you again jeeezzz

@bbyzvcy18 yes I was just like you with my first 8 years ago as well I was young and confused about what to do and now I'm just trying to make it easier with this one I dontbwant to turn to the dad who is struggling with rent and bills while I'm not working and ask him to get a walker I used my tax return to buy all the baby stuff and many friends gave me handy downs and even got cloth dippers so that I don't have to bother him for dippers because I stopped working:( he is paying for everything :(

I know how you feel. 10 years ago with my first, i was young, broke, and stupid. Now 10 years later when im more stable and with my 2nd baby on the way i feel like i need to get everything. Lmao. Do whatever makes you feel secure and prepared. Anything i end up not using or getting to i have plans to give it away to mothers in need just like myself when i had nothing.

We had everything before my last baby came. This time we just needed a bigger vehicle and we've already got that too. Lol

We bought everything we needed in the first year or so before my last baby was born. Saves us money.
