Money Makeover: “Can we afford to have a baby?"

THE COUPLE'S REACTION continued...

LARRY: "Carmen's and Tina's advice opened my eyes to our situation. We've really been going along just reacting to things that pop up instead of laying out a plan to get ahead. Tina helped us open up to each other about what we would like to see in our future. We've talked about how we want to reach our dreams and have set up doable time frames. I've started to get more involved in bill paying and I've rearranged my priorities a bit. I'm going to start my 401(k), too. It was good to talk to Breanne about what we want in the future, and we are getting along better now that we are talking about things more."
