#261 – Family expanding: How to Financially Plan for New Baby Expenses

Exciting news—I’m expecting baby #2! In this episode, I’m sharing the key financial steps to take before and after welcoming a new baby. Drawing from my experience with my first child, I’ll cover how to evaluate how much time off you can afford, adjust your budget for a growing family, ensure proper medical and life insurance coverage, and plan for new expenses like child care and education savings.

I’ll also discuss updating health insurance, reviewing estate planning documents, and setting up education savings for your little one’s future. These steps can help you feel prepared and reduce financial stress during this exciting life change.

As I prepare for my baby’s arrival, I’ll be taking some time off and sharing some of my best episodes for holiday listening. Fresh episodes will resume in early 2025—stay tuned! If you find this episode helpful, share it with a parent or parent-to-be, and let’s build strong financial foundations together.
