I am a firm believer in &amp;quot;the two become one&amp;quot; in every way, including finances and want us to merge our accounts into one. He seems extremely reluctant to do this, but says he&amp;#39;s not closed to the idea either. I want to encourage him to go with me on this, but don&amp;#39;t want it to become a point of contention.

I&amp;#39;ve recently been there as we have two young children.  Your priorties do change, but it is for the better.  Beyond some of the initial expenses with having a child, it&amp;#39;s really a matter of planning your spending plan each month for these additional expenses.  There&amp;#39;s certainly going to be more expenses associated with diapers, etc.  But you&amp;#39;ll get it figured out after a few months.  Sure there are some sacrifices, but it&amp;#39;s worth it.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/6007777999390013881/comments/default/1620764578070839747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/6007777999390013881/comments/default/1620764578070839747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/10/my-baby-wants.html?showComment=1256240055480#c1620764578070839747' title=''/><author><name>Jason @ One Money Design</name><uri>http://www.onemoneydesign.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/10/my-baby-wants.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289477140035004706.post-6007777999390013881' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/posts/default/6007777999390013881' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289477140035004706.post-6621975480995440803</id><published>2009-10-20T23:08:06.042-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T23:08:06.042-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Bad news...don't ever get a card like that!!!</title><content type='html'>Bad news...don&amp;#39;t ever get a card like that!!!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/2826523974093525158/comments/default/6621975480995440803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/2826523974093525158/comments/default/6621975480995440803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/10/different-kind-of-debit.html?showComment=1256098086042#c6621975480995440803' title=''/><author><name>...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08557251596803202956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289477140035004706.post-6331617133404523793</id><published>2009-10-20T23:05:20.810-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-20T23:05:20.810-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Good parents put their family's needs ahead of the...</title><content type='html'>Good parents put their family&amp;#39;s needs ahead of their selfish wants...</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/6007777999390013881/comments/default/6331617133404523793'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/6007777999390013881/comments/default/6331617133404523793'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/10/my-baby-wants.html?showComment=1256097920810#c6331617133404523793' title=''/><author><name>...</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08557251596803202956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.christianmoneymountain.com/2009/10/my-baby-wants.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289477140035004706.post-6007777999390013881' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6289477140035004706/posts/default/6007777999390013881' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289477140035004706.post-3732513527116185045</id><published>2009-10-16T12:58:30.819-05:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T12:58:30.819-05:00</updated><title type='text'>In my opinion, this is THE site to go to, especial...</title><content type='html'>In my opinion, this is THE site to go to, especially around holidays.
