before the second child.

1. One-bedroom apartment, 700$.
2. Health Insurance, I have no idea how it works in MSP, let's say 150$ per month for the family.
3. Food, 500$. transportation 100-150$.
4. Other expense 100-150$

1200-1500$ for whole family.

After the child is born, extra 200-300$ for the baby daily expense. it comes to 1500-1800$.

As you said, your husband is lack of confidence now. No matter you decide to keep the second child or not, the first year in Canada could be very tough.

Let's consider some possibilities now:

1. Your husband finds a nice job in 6 months, at least 2000$ per month to cover daily expense, and you have the second baby without any problems.

2. Your husband will have to do some labor work, monthly income between 1000$-1500$, but you are hopeful and optimistic, happily together.

3. The worst comes, none is happy.

I guess nobody could make decisions for you, you and your husband must make some plans for the next 12-18 months, and stick to it.

All the best.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

HAMILTON（安省），开车到多伦多只要45分钟。
DOWN TOWN 的ONE BED ROOM大约600多，买菜、购物、办事、上ESL步行即可，有3家华人超升市，买中国食品很方便。
这个城市还有政府房，低收入家庭可以申请，落地后马上申请，你的情况很快会批准的（THREE BED ROOMS），大约200左右。

生活费每个城市差不多，主要花销在租房子上。
