Having kids is a huge life decision and more American women are either delaying motherhood or choosing not to have kids at all.

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.
