Money Management Tips for Parents

My wife and I both had very successful careers when we had our first child, so I never expected to struggle financially after we had her. Things were great for a while, although raising a child was a bit more expensive than we expected. Unfortunately, I ended up getting laid off from my job and that is when money got really tight for us. The silver lining was that we really saved on child care expenses while I was laid off. While I am finally now working again, raising a child on one income was a struggle and we learned many budgeting and money management tips and tricks along the way that helped keep us afloat financially. I decided to create a blog to share those tips with other parents in similar tough situations. I hope I can help you end your financial struggle!
