Hey guys, I have a question. I'm 22 years old, financially independent, and have a good job with benefits. This is the most scared I've been in my life as I found out a couple days ago I'll be expecting my first child in December. My question is, should I immediately sell my boat? Having kids so expensive that I'll wind up selling it in the future anyway? The lake is in my blood. It's what I love for. I want to share the same joys with my kid and give him/her the same feeling of loving the water. I make my payments now with plenty to spare each month. I don't live with mom and dad and split rent with my spouse. When I first told my mother and father they were immediately like "well you need to sell your boat". I feel as if I can swing it and realize My time on the water this year will be cut in half if not more. I have had many friends with kids ask "why would you sell it?" Then go on to say having a kid isn't THAT bad. So my question is what are you guys opinions?
