Goals

My goals are quite simple — have at least one child and retire early. However, to do this I would need to save up a quite sizable retirement fund for myself and a fairly large college fund for my child. The pursuit to pass down my genes has a huge financial responsibility attached to it since once I have a child my pay may decrease quite significantly. I have seen many working mothers discriminated against in a silent but egregious manner, but if I get started on that topic I will have to fill up another page. So my short term goal is to save enough money to have a child without having to worry about paycuts or unemployment. I want to have my first child before I am 28, so that leaves me only three more years to save. If my husband and I don’t purchase an overpriced home and continue to rent, it’s possible to reach our goal of $500000 by 6/30/2010.
