How to budget for a baby!

Описание: I was 36 weeks pregnant when I received a message from our bank that we had hit $0 in our checking account. (Insert swear words here.) Thankfully we have savings to tap into but we immediately had to switch around our lifestyle in order to take care of the needs of our growing family. We live in a home with other people to help keep the cost of rent low. We also made a series of other decisions that helped us provide for our new son. This video shares more personal details from our mini financial crisis and a bunch of our money saving tips. We were able to rebuild our savings account by roughly $6,000 in 6 months and this video tells you how we did that. I will also add here that our monthly bills are as low as possible, which helps minimize spending. I know money stuff can be scary but taking care of your new baby is possible no matter what amount of money you have in your account right now! As with anything else, I really believe that if I can do it, anyone can do it, because I am not a natural at this stuff. I believe in you. :)
