Budgeting For Baby: Confidence In Motherhood
Planning Your Finances For Baby
Stepping into the season of parenthood is such an exciting time! Thinking about holding that sweet little one in your arms and getting all the newborn baby snuggles.
But preparing to have a baby can also feel overwhelming! Choosing a doctor and a hospital, setting up a nursery, figuring out what you really need... Oh yeah... And the finances!
You've heard people say "having a baby is soooo expensive." But it really doesn't have to be.
There are so many ways that you can save money on pregnancy and baby expenses. And you can also splurge on the things that you want.
As a first-time-mom, I started my pregnancy with no clue how much everything was going to cost! And I didn't even know all the things I would need. But because I love budgeting, I decided to do some research and record my journey along the way.
During my 9 months of pregnancy, I learned about all the financial aspects that go into having a baby. Everything from baby supplies, maternity leave, medical expenses, becoming a stay-at-home-mom and more.
In this course, I'm excited to share with you all of the things that I learned. I hope that I can be that mom friend to you who's been there and can cheer you on and encourage you along the way!
In this course I'll be sharing how much you can expect to spend on different expenses related to having a baby, how you can save money on these costs, and how you can budget and plan for this exciting season.
Having a baby is such an exciting time of life! Don't let money be a stress to take away from this season. Instead, I created this course to help you feel confident in your budget and finances as you enter this new season of life: Motherhood!
