That would be too tight for me. If you don’t have family nearby who can occasionally look after the children over the next 15 years, then I don’t see full-time employment for both. And with a permanent 1.5 incomes plus the additional costs of growing children, that is recklessly financed in my opinion. This month I paid over 600 euros for my two boys (kindergarten and primary school age). Photos at kindergarten, shoes, summer pants, sports club, swimming course, holiday activities booked, new lunchbox and water bottle (lost)… I‘m bleeding money. I also remember with the first baby thinking, “oh, a child is cheap. Child benefit is more than enough.” We got almost everything as gifts or bought cheaply second-hand. But that only lasted the first 3 years, since then the children really cost money.
