Holy balls stuff ain't cheap
 

So the wife and I just bought a house last month (hooray a mortgage), now we are furnishing it.

Holy shit why didn't any of you warn me with how much that costs?

I blame everyone here.

IKEA is your best friend (and sometimes, worst enemy)

And things seem to cost more every day

You have kids?

quality furniture these days is outrageous. We just bought all new bedroom furniture, not a mattress, just the wood. Hold shit. I love it, but damn we spent a lot of money.

Goodwill.

20 month old and one dew next month

Bought new living room furniture, new bedroom suite (clearance) dining room set and our little boy a new bedroom set.

That's a Lotta teeth need fixed to pay for that shit

Damn you should be worrying about childcare before all else. $800 for one kid a month and you have two.

Yikes

Congrats, same scenario 6 months ago...
Got some good shit from ValueCity on the somewhat cheap.

IKEA, Goodwill, Craigslist. Furniture is way overpriced. Better to get quality stuff 2nd hand, IMO.

Wife works from home So thats not really an issue.

Plus she makes more than i do working from home, so I'm not too unhappy with it

Just throw all that stuff on an Ashley furniture card and make minimum payments forever. Screw it.

we bought furniture at ashley.

Luckily, as I just found out a minute ago, the wife hit a pretty large bonus at work so that will lessen the blow.

Also, thankfully I'm a spoiled only child so my parents bought some stuff for us

Who pays 800 a month per kid?

I've got a 2.5 year old that goes to the nicest daycare in town, people that own it were NFPA foster parents of the year and we only pay 90 bucks a week.

I would never want to live in the city again.
