• Still living in a rental property? This is the time you shall start planning to Get your 1st home, as now you are together and both can work hard to make it affordable. Moreover, you want to get this first and biggest investment in place before you increase your family, as it is easier to face the initial crunch together rather then when one of you have to take care of the new one, which will result in reduction of your income.

• Don't have any life insurance at all? Consider getting coverage. Even if you have a small coverage, it is time to review your coverage to make sure you have adequate protection in place. How would your new family maintain their current lifestyle? Would the mortgage be paid off or are you leaving them a debt versus an asset?
