“Having
a baby is a joyous time for any family, but a stressful time as well,”
said Lisa Steffes, CEO of brightpeak financial, a not-for-profit
financial company that empowers Christians to live with financial
strength and generosity. “That’s why we have put together a free eBook
that outlines, month by month, steps that will help minimize the
financial confusion that can accompany the arrival of a child.”
The free eBook, The Ultimate Guide for Growing Your Family: A Year of Money Must-Dos, provides
a common-sense approach to the financial and emotional actions that can
protect and enhance family life during pregnancy and after the newborn
arrives.
The
suggestions list financial steps that should be taken and tips for
buying items the baby will need. The eBook gives new parents advice for:
- Making a thorough assessment of the family’s current financial situation;
- Establishing an emergency fund;
- Checking health insurance and parental leave policy;
- Exploring child care costs and options;
- Lining up a support team;
- Adjusting or creating a will to accommodate changed circumstances; and
- Buying a car seat and saving on baby clothes.
“Having
a child can be one of God’s greatest gifts,” said Steffes. “Careful
planning can ensure that the parents’ focus remains on integrating the
new child into the family, without additional anxiety.”
