Hi. I'm 26, I've got a job (25/30k) won't be much more than that for my whole career,
I've got a new boyfriend, he earns minimum wage (18ish K). He's got 3 Kids are young and don't live with us but spend school hols etc with us. He doesn't have any ambition to get a better job. He pays about £200 in child maintenance a month and has no money left so I pay for most of our living costs, he's is also in 4K worth of debt.
I'm worried for my future, will we be able to afford to have kids? I know he wants to be a stay at home dad- i would be fine with that.
I love him but this is honestly the only thing that has been worrying me recently.
I'm not silly, I know it's doable, but I'm curious for some advice to make me feel better!
Any wise words? Positive only pls 🙏🏻
