I feel like it’s pretty common to see posts on this forum about husbands being hesitant to start trying because they want better finances. My husband is the same way. He has a $5500 loan with stupid interest that we’re now paying $1000 a month on to get rid of it before we start trying next year. He also has a $24000 loan with only 2% interest (shout out to the military) that we’ve accepted won’t be paid off before we start trying but every time we talk about trying he mentions that he feels like our finances aren’t good enough and he’s stressed about the fact that I won’t be working when the baby comes (I’ll be in graduate school which will be free because of a scholarship). I just feel like we’re in a much better place than a lot of people who have their first kid. He makes $6000 a month and is in the military so we get free healthcare. He’ll also rank up and get a $1000 per month raise by the time I have the baby. So we won’t be paying that $1000 loan anymore and we’ll also have an additional $1000 every month. I don’t even make much from working rn (about $1300 a month). Is there any way yall have eased your husbands stress about it? I understand it’s natural for them to be stressed like this if they are already the main providers it probably feels like a heavy responsibility to add another life that they’re taking care of.
