89: What Every Young Parent Needs to Hear Before the Baby Arrives
About this episode
Before you assemble the crib and install the car seat, there are a few commonly forgotten questions you should ask.
Keith Tyner and Doug Shrieve of Gimbal Financial cover the financial and life decisions young families get wrong, skip entirely, or never think to ask. From estate planning basics to building community, rethinking the cost of kids, and developing a parental education philosophy that outlasts any classroom.
Key Topics:
- Why every young couple needs a will before the baby arrives
- What term life insurance costs when you’re just starting out
- How weekly date nights function as a financial and relational investment
- Why children are assets, not expenses
- What an intentional education philosophy looks like at home
- How working from home costs young families more than they realize
Whether you’re expecting your first or wondering if there’s room for one more, this one’s worth passing on.
