S3 E9: "My partner and I want kids in a few years. How do we financially prepare for a baby?"
TODAY'S QUESTION:
I am lucky to finally be getting paid what I'm worth. I’m making progress on basic financial goals like a robust emergency fund, funding my future retirement accounts, etc, so I’m ready to start focusing my energies on some more personal goals. My husband and I are thinking about expanding our family and trying to have kids. We are thrilled but nervous! Strangely, while parenting advice is all over the place, there's not a lot of advice I can find about financial milestones to meet before having kids. What advice do y'all have from a financial standpoint for folks looking to get ready to get ready to have kids?
