New Child

June 10, 2009 | Comments Off

We got our first child in the last few weeks. A lot of excitement and joy. As this blog is about financial matters, we will probably discuss the financial decisions we take in this process.

Fortunately we haven’t really had any major expenses so far. A few diapers and a crib that we bought. Everything else was a gift or a loan from friends: and I mean lots of things. The whole kit. From car seat to pack and plays, with all of the little clothing and linen items in between. I guess we have been fortunate for having so many great friends: of for having our child late in life, after everyone has finished having theirs.

What about hospital bills? We haven’t seen them yet. I am sure we will be seeing them soon. It is never as low as the $500 they promise on the insurance sheet. Hospitals always find ways to charge more for something. We may have to talk about those as well. Who knows, we may be lucky!

So far so good.
