Money in the partnership – a sensitive topic. Especially when children come into play. Financial expert Natascha Wegelin alias “Madame Moneypenny” explains how parents have less stress with their finances.
This interview comes from the star archive and first appeared in September 2023.
Ms. Wegelin, what does a financial expert who recently become a mother says to sayings like “children are expensive” or “a child must you be able to afford”? Protested your mother’s heart or do you start to expect?
The fact that children cost money cannot be denied with all mother’s luck. There is a new family member who has to be cared for. This wants to have clothes and food and later drive on a school trip and get a driver’s license. Until a child grows up, it costs the parents a six -figure sum. Of course, money is not the first thing you think of when you want children. Nevertheless, I think it’s important to ask yourself the question: How can we afford it? In the end, a lot is a matter of planning.
