Starting From Birth

What are some steps that you can take to begin creating wealth from the birth of your baby on?

My goal is to show you exactly how easy it can be to start a program that will allow you to begin saving money for your baby starting from infancy. Allow me to go back a few years and briefly share my own experience with you...

Before I even got pregnant with my first son, I excitedly went out and bought a couple of books at Chapters and read up on how to have a happy, healthy baby.

I went to a nutritionist and she put me on a cleanse and started me on a healthy diet and vitamin routine. Not the most enjoyable thing I've ever done, but I did it.

I even put my husband on a couple of vitamins to make his "end of things" as healthy as possible too.

Overkill?

I don't think so. I was trying to make sure I was doing my best to minimize or eliminate any health problems down the road for myself and my future baby.

I was in the minority doing things so early before conception.

Most of my friends dealt with their health or their children's health only if problems came up, sometimes not until years later.

Building and creating wealth from birth or even before the birth of your child is similar. If you wait until years later to start learning how to save and invest for your child's future, your child's "financial health" could be jeopardized.

As parents, we want healthy, happy and well-adjusted children. But we often don't think about their healthy, happy and well-adjusted financial situation. I sure didn't.

My husband and I were strapped for money for many years and just made ends meet most months, so the last thing we thought about was our children's financial future. We were just focused on our lack of finances.

When I looked at our three young boys I didn't think of them growing into young men and going away to university. That seemed forever away! At the time I just took things "one poopy diaper at a time".

I'm sure in the back of our minds we knew we would have to seriously give the children's education and the cost of it some thought, but it certainly wasn't our priority during those early years.

Well, I'm just going to come out and tell you that babies do grow up and they turn into young men and women... all of a sudden! Don't panic like I did when I realized that there were only a handful of years left before the first one was to be off to university.
