“My wife and I are expecting our first child, so discovering LearnLux now could not have come at a better time.
There is a lot of financial information out there and it's so hard to find reliable sources. But with LearnLux, their comprehensive resources and engaging webinars have significantly enhanced my understanding of personal finance.
I just watched the “Kids and Money” webinar and now my eyes are wide open. Before attending the webinar, I felt overwhelmed by the myriad of financial decisions involved in raising a child. The session, however, broke down complex topics into manageable, actionable steps. It began by exploring how to financially prepare for kids.
I operate on a monthly budget so when I hear "you need to budget an extra $700 - $900 a month (at least) for raising a kid”, that is the kind of actionable insight I need. Taking advantage of what insurance will cover both pre-natal and post-natal is another key point I picked up on. Plus all of the various options for funding childcare, from 529 plans and custodial accounts to employer-sponsored benefits such as an HSA. The financial planners were awesome leading the webinar, and they revealed opportunities I hadn’t previously considered. So, you can open a Roth account for a child? Who knew!
A big thank-you to LearnLux and their insightful “Kids and Money” webinar, I now feel more confident and equipped to navigate the financial challenges of parenthood.”
Thank you to Nathan for sharing his story!
