As a young family, there are some planning things you need to think of. You really need to take a lot of intention to think about these things and many people don't. You don't need to plan -- And plan is a significant word. There are really five main areas that you need to think of as a family. That's, the house you are going to buy; kids, how many kids you are going to have; where they are going to go to school, and college; weddings; and retirement. Those are the five big things because they all affect each other. If you buy the biggest house you can buy, you may not have the money to send them to a private school in the future, if that's your desire. If you are going to have five children, college is going to cost a little more. All of these things are interrelated. You need to think about all five of them, and plan for those five.
