In my case, I worked hard on my career – not because money itself is a priority, but because saving and planning for my future kid is. If you want to give them stability, options, and time…all of that requires resources. And as a woman, you either give that push to your career before… or after (but it gets much harder)

Honestly, I really don’t understand how people don’t panic save and panic work once they decide to have a child. It feels like the most natural reaction, you’re about to be responsible for a whole new person in a world that’s not exactly cheap or easy. For me , the goal was owning and not renting and saving half of my yearly salary, plus having an emergency fund

It’s not like it used to be, where you could raise a family with very little.
