As parents of children ourselves, we understand the desire to purchase the newest and greatest goods for newborns. Resist the urge! You can find strollers by manufacturers such as Graco, clothes by Carter at practically every thrift store in every city you visit. Worried about germs? Its called Lysol folks!
If you saved $500 by shopping at thrift stores and invested it for the kid you'd have...well, a lot more money. Save $500 a year over the 18 years and I'm guessing you'd pay for college. Or pay for a big chunk of it.
We are a throwaway society. And that may be important if you are Mr or Ms. Green but leaving the environment completely out of it, you are throwing money away when you automatically throw it away.
