it feels impossible to save money after having just 1 kid. I'm working a $2.5k job and so is my husband. Our income barely covers everything. Is there any advice that you could give to us apart from just setting aside money every month? we're worried right now. On a good month we only manage to save about $800. Is that enough?

It might not seem enough but atleast you are saving :) it will add up along the way. I think you're on the right track. Make better choices in terms of spending -- if you have extra, you might feel like you want to spend it on miscellaneous things but think if it can be put towards something else. That being said, it doesn't mean you cannot enjoy. I agree with the mom above, there are ways to enjoy and shop without breaking a buck.
