Budgeting For A Baby (And FI, Too)

I cannot tell you the amount of times I have heard that financial independence is simply not possible when budgeting for a baby.

The Stages Of Financial Independence

A lot of folk say that financial independence doesn’t follow a linear path. That the stages of financial independence change. I disagree, because actually, if you look at common themes in people’s finances across the spectrum, the trends are clear.
