so this is a bit of a random and slightly scary goal…
basically, B stands for baby….
If me and my partner were ever to have a baby.. its a big mad complicated thing and would probably cost thousands of pounds on treatments… let alone the typical cost of just having a baby and bringing a child up..
my partner had a vasectomy several years ago.. he’s already had a child when he was very young and has decided he doesnt want any more ever. I used to, when i was a teen, not want kids ever, but as i get older i more and more want a baby..
I think its a biological thing, my rational bit of my brain tells me why it wouldnt be a good idea and how diffivult itd be, but i still have this growing need to have a baby, to bring a child up and pass on the things my mum used to do with me…. i want to be a mum
if we were to have a child, itd involve my partner and possibly me having tests, operations etc. and its cost thousands… or we could adopt etc.
I think starting a saving fund is a sensible idea, hence B-fund. It may end up being used for something else, but I want to start putting money away to prove to my partner how important this is to me. He doesn’t know about this, he knows I increasingly want to have a baby but i don’t think he knows how important it is to me. I will talk to him about it eventually but for now I don’t want to argue with him about it. I just want to know I’m making it a possibility in the future.
So the first goal is £100. I’ll build on it when I can
