...and that's a magic number

My name

I chose the name Mrs. TwoYears for one reason, and one reason only. Ever since we were planning our wedding, Mr. TwoYears and I have been asked many many times when we were planning to have kids. The conversation would go a little something like this:

Them: "So, when are you guys gonna have a baaaaybeeeeee?"

Us: "Mortgage before baby."

At that point, I would usually add something like "yeah, my parents were renters when I came along, and they weren't able to afford a house until I was almost 13. I have no intention of being a 40-year-old renter."

Them: "Well, when are you gonna buy a house?"

Us: "Two years."

We've been saying that for almost four years now.
