In this episode of Fourth Trimester Podcast, we are joined by an experienced financial advisor, Laura Davis CFP.  This episode centers on how families can create a budget that sets the family up for financial success, including: what a budget is, how to create one, considerations before having a baby, what to budget for during pregnancy, postpartum and longer term (kids education, your own retirement etc.) We also have a great conversation around helping raise children to be financially independent.
