MIAMI (CBSMiami) – You’ve heard ofcollege graduates bunking with mom and dad as they look for their first job.
But today, some would-be moms and dads are saving for their new additions in a new way.
“Young couples, when they have a child or when they’re planning to have a child, are moving back in with their parents,” said Carmen Wong Ulrich, BabyCenter Financial expert,. “Ten percent of young women are staying, living at home with their parents to save money to have children. This is a new trend.”
Alexis Kort, her husband Josh and their baby Charlotte moved in with Alexis’ parents when they relocated to their hometown.
“You don’t necessarily think about it before you have a kid and then all of a sudden you’re like ‘Wait a second, how do we make this work financially?’,” said Kort.

If you live with your parents it is harder to make a kid.
At least they are considering the financial responsibility of having and raising a child beforehand.

Thank you President Obama for focusing on the economy over the last 5 years.
Can’t wait to move home and be on my parents insurance.
Ah #4 I knew someone would come in and blame Obama! Were you paying attention from 2000-2008, or were you too busy in grade school?
sorry Obama has been president for almost 5 years , nothing has gotten better in fact things are significantly worse . Obama continued and broadened all the worst programs from the Bush era and turned his back on anything that worked …welcome to the 3rd world
There is nothing wrong with saving money. If it puts them on a firm footing it is the smart thing to do. Why make fun of people saving money?
The alternative is to pay high rent and never get ahead. Save money for a down payment.
James, the stock market would beg to differ with your assessment. Given the pile of shit that Team Obama inherited from Greenspan, things could be much worse than they are.
I’m solidly in the middle class and I am way better off than I was 5 years ago.
Its called Quantitative easing (QE) Used during the the Wiemar Republic , like I said all the worst policy decisions from the Bush Admin magnified .We all know the stock market should at the minimum double every 10 years , I would suggest you look at all the empty stores in Ridgewood , and on Rout 17 , people on food stamps , disability pay and the amount of people seeking public assistance , most would be forced to disagree with your conclusion .
well at least i have some one to help me with my leaves.
