6 budget items that soar when you start a family & how to save on them
#37: It costs a pretty penny to raise a kid.
I knew my expenses would go up with a kid in tow, but looking back I underestimated exactly how much they would go up by.
Hmm. “Go up” isn’t quite the right word. “Blow up” is a bit more accurate.

In this week’s podcast, I share what I’ve learned, using direct examples from our own budget, about how our expenses blew up after starting a family.
What you’ll learn:
What’s been your experience with budgeting and expenses after having a kid? Any other expenses that ballooned after you had a kid? Did your costs increase by similar percentages as mine? Let me know by leaving a comment when you’re done.
