Babies & Budgets
A course that teaches you how to financially prepare for a child so you can stop the late night google searches.
Whether you want to have a child in the future, are currently pregnant, or even a new parent, you will find tips, guidance, and step-by-step instructions to help you be financially prepared for a baby.
There are SO many “what ifs” before, during, and after pregnancy.
Creating human life unveils so many uncertain questions like:
How much do I need to save for a baby?
What accounts do I set up for my child?
What baby items to do I actually need?
How do I understand my health insurance coverage?
As a (future) parent, I think it goes without saying—this is only the tip of the Google rabbit hole we all go down searching for answers.
Having children completely changes your finances forever, and you know you need to be set up financially for the best possible future for your family.
With so much advice out there, it can feel overwhelming—to say the least.
You keep finding yourself wishing there was a go-to resource for new parents to find out all the financial information you need to prepare for so you didn’t have to keep sifting through article after article.
The last thing you want is to waste money on baby items you don’t actually need just because a blog told you it was ‘new and noteworthy.’
Then there are the actual questions regarding your health insurance and the medical expenses that come with actually giving birth in a hospital, like how much do you need to be prepared to spend and what do you even take to the hospital?
You just want to make your life easier during this time because before you know it, your little one is here and sleep is basically nonexistent.
You know you need to make changes to your personal budget and create a baby budget for food, diapers, and all the clothes they’ll outgrow far too soon.
Then there comes setting up a savings account for their future, but there are so many options, what one is the right one?
The good news is there’s no need to stress about navigating being a new parent.
You can breathe easy because I created the exact course I wish I had when I was pregnant with my son.

Hi, I'm Alli!
Mom to the sweetest boys
Babies & Budgets is the course I wish I had when I was pregnant with my first son. Even with an MBA in finance and my background as a money coach, I still had a lot of unanswered questions about the financial impact of having a baby.
For the first time, my husband and I had to navigate through our health insurance costs beyond just our annual visits. I had to figure out what was covered, get estimates for our bills, and budget accordingly. On top of it all, we had to prepare for a loss of income during maternity leave.
When we were planning for his arrival, I wanted to make sure we had the essentials for when we brought him home but didn’t want too much clutter or unnecessary items we wouldn’t use.
We also went through all the options to best set him up for financial success in the future while completely redoing our budget to accommodate the payments.
My goal is that this course gives you everything you need to take some of the stress of the unknown off your shoulders during pregnancy and navigate the financial stress that comes with.
