Having a baby
The planning and preparation for your first child is intense, with so much to do in so little time.An important part of this is thinking about how you and your partner's lives will change, both from a lifestyle and a financial standpoint.
Gone are those heady days of freedom from responsibilities, you now have to think about your short term future and how it will change financially.
The financial implications of expecting your first baby are more immediate than those of families with young children so we have a separate life change route for that.
