<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit. Me and my girlfriend of 2 years are about to have a kid by the end of this month. We are super excited, but both know the amount of responsibility and effort that comes with it. Im looking for some financial advice that will help us give our son the most perfect life while also helping us become more financially stable. We are both still in college and have low paying jobs. My girlfriend makes about 9 an hour while I make 14 an hour interning at a great company that I hope to pursue a career in after I graduate. We have saved up around 6,000 to help with the initial expenses that come with raising a kid. Our parents help us a lot and are going to continue to help us because their main goal is for us to continue our education and get degrees. I have no debt and will have no school loans due to scholarships and pre paid college. What tipsadvice do you have for us? And as a side question, which one of us should claim our son?  <response>: My main concern is your ability to study, have a job, and raise a kid all at the same time. Chances are something will fall off and it probably wont be raising a kid.
