When bills amass, daycare costs rise, and the numbers just don't add up, managing the household budget can feel overwhelming.
For those of us who struggle with the nitty-gritty numbers of it all, it can be helpful to see how other families, like ours, manage their households. Asking friends and family about their financial status can still feel pretty taboo, and what's worse, sometimes we can't relate financially to anyone in our circles.
So we decided to do the dirty work for you.
In an effort to help moms take a closer look at their finances, we reached out to mothers across the country and asked them to analyze their budgets. Each month, we'll have one mom anonymously tell us her marital status, annual income, and about how much her family has to work with each month. Whether the spotlight is on a mom who splits the bills with a partner or a single mama making it work on her own, we want to give readers an inside peek into how they're making it work. Then, as an added bonus, a financial advisor (who is also a mother herself) will weigh in with three major takeaways and a bit of advice all moms can benefit from.
