No matter how much you shop at goodwill, the reality of childcare is a huge dent in our FI goals. $4K a month in childcare since we both work. So factor for childcare realistically to your FI projections
$4k a month? I’m guessing for 2+ kids? My friends have had great success with an au pair. $1.5k a month and not a higher price for multiples
My husband and I (am female) are also on the FIRE path and we just budget for kids in the plan.
There’s a website called ESI (earn, save invest) Money that talks about FIRE and they do a “Millionaire” series for FatFire folks and “ESI” series for normal FIRE folks plus a “retirement” series for those who’ve already made it.
It’s quite interesting and depending on your FIRE plans might have some useful tips.
My friend said he would just switch to more of a part time job and not fully retire but be financially independent. He was also going to do like toy swaps and stuff to get the kids toys, etc. also buying from yard sales and goodwill/thrift stores for clothes
On this note, look up Buy Nothing Groups locally on Facebook (I’m part of one right now, and just got a free second-hand printer)
Buy nothing groups, hand me downs, a college plan that involves community college, monthly dinner planning and couponing. We have multiple and make it a shared goal with the kids. We splurge on travel, but otherwise no one buys new anything and we spend most of our time playing outside at parks, so no one misses a crud ton of toys or nice things. For babies, reusable diapers, hand me downs from others (baby stuff exchanges work great)
The side income is interesting. Passive investment helps a lot. We’ve got rental properties to offset. It’s possible!
Also, I want to say thank you for adopting! If you have any opportunity to adopt from foster care, please look into it! No kid should grow up without a family.
Cont...how do any of you FI’ers balance having children with your FI goals?
Why are you choosing to adopt?
The fun is in the trying, OP
Following for information. I think I really want a kid at some point, but my wife is close to timing out her biological clock. I really want to consider adoption when it’s time but it’s not something we fully align on.
