Everyone prepares for the baby.
Almost no one prepares for the financial pressure that comes with it.
And that’s what catches couples out.
Because when income drops…
Costs rise…
And sleep disappears…
Small money problems turn into big relationship problems.

Why It Matters to You as a Dad
This isn’t about spreadsheets.
It’s about stability.
Because when your partner is recovering…
When emotions are high…
