This week, my husband and I sat down to discuss our long-term family finance goals. We haven't done this since before the kids arrived and it was such an eye opener!
We reviewed everything from mortgage payments to college funds and articulated our current and future needs clearly for the first time in years. It made me realize how much has changed, and how much we need a clear plan moving forward given these new circumstances.
It'd be great to hear about other families' experiences with this too - what were/are your main goals when it comes to family finance? How do you keep on top of savings, mortgage payments, etc., while also balancing everyday expenses and enjoying life?!
It feels good to have a renewed sense of financial clarity but I know it'll be an ongoing journey.
