What kind of investment/thing do you plan after you give birth or in the future?

Investment- A townhouse (but still saving up for the down payment!)
Thing- an iPhone 5 (it's a shame I still don't have one, need to prepare for my delivery than that!)

Tell yours!

After giving birth, hubby and I will look for a 2 to 3 bedroom condo in the metropolis. A rent-to-own condo. Very good initial investment while our family is still small. Will need to find a great realtor first! And when we say great, it does spell d-i-s-c-o-u-n-t!!

A car of my own would be amazing. Mercedes or BMW, I'm not choosy! lol.

BabiesRus is having a half the price sale on car seats. Stylish ones, mind you!

[Fanny]

Yeah, I've seen that on their website.. Hopefully we'll have our baby this year and I could go shopping for cutesy baby stuff!

@ Fanny and Gemma - you couldn't go wrong with REI as long as the location is ok. Not all properties appreciate in value. It's still the location that matters.

I agree with you Dalinda, it does depend on the location. My sissy had some real estate investment 4 times and failed on the 5th property they've put their money on. Lots of research and feasibility study should be practised before jumping into anything no matter how expert we are on a certain field.

Speaking of apps, I think apps on finances and budgeting are great companions in managing our income and staying out of debt for sure.

So true, we need to give time, effort and painstakingly decide on a big investment as we are not hardcore business tycoons ourselves that if we fail (knocking on wood) it won't be too much of something that would crush our spirit.
