Baby budgeting 😬
Anyone else struggling to figure out how to either cover maternity leave (zero pay, or 1/2 pay with short term disability) and/or childcare costs once you return to work? We're fairly lucky that I have 3 weeks paid vacation and some savings, but that still leaves 9 weeks at half pay.Â
I'd love to hear about any interesting, creative or just plain smart ideas you all have had. I really wish our families could help with child care but we'll be covering all of that care and can't afford to have a stay at home parent. The best I've come up with is cutting back our grocery and discretionary (e.g. fun stuff) spending. What are all of you FTM mommies and daddies planning to do? Or what worked for you before, experienced parents?
