Having kids is a huge life decision and more American women are either delaying motherhood or choosing not to have kids at all. Despite the short-term plunge — and comeback — during the early years of the pandemic, the birth rates have been consistently trending down. There are a few reasons for this, namely, kids are really expensive, and millennials have a lot of student loan debt to pay off.
Jade Warshaw, cohost and debt elimination expert on the Ramsey Show, found herself in almost half a million dollars of debt and completely changed her life to be able to start the family she’d always dreamed of. In her new book, “Money’s Not a Math Problem” she goes over the easiest ways to create a budget that works, pay down debt, and free yourself from the money mindsets that are holding you back.
In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who’s getting a jump start on taxes and is wondering whether to report her side gig to the IRS and from someone who just paid down her debt (yay!) and wants to know the best place to put the extra $300 she has a month. In our money tip of the week, Bitcoin ETFs were just approved, is now the time to buy?
