I am the kind of person that really likes to plan things (as you probably can tell!) and I want to make sure we can afford to bring a baby into this world before we actually do. :) Catherine- I don’t know where I got the idea, but it sounded good to me!

Getting a head start will make the transition smoother. Friends of our family had a financial plan figured out for how many children they could afford to have and put through college - and they stuck to it. Now their children are grown and were well provided for over the years - and the parents are getting ready to retire early. Having a really strict plan might not be necessary, but saving sooner than later is never a bad thing! I think the baby savings fund is a great idea.

I have just been lazy setting up the sub accounts. I have part of my paycheck directly deposited into our emergency fund. I supposed I could set up a recurring payment into each account! I'll have to do that this weekend. :) Kacie- thanks for your input! I have just been lazy setting up the sub accounts. I have part of my paycheck directly deposited into our emergency fund.

I'd vote for splitting it up and putting some in your emergency fund, in a new car fund, baby fund, and retirement. If you wanted to put it in just two places, I'd vote for putting half in the car fund and the other half in the baby savings, since they'd come to fruition the soonest, and it sounds like you already have a decent emergency savings going. Definitely do the sub accounts! I saw you had a previous post where you weren't sure about subs. I think they're a great way to save for specific goals. You have many great options!
