## Resource

Going from DINKWAD (Dual Income, No Kids, With A Dog) to new parent is a wild ride. I'm sharing exactly what I did to financially prepare for birth and the first two weeks postpartum — from simplifying bills and meal planning to hospital supply hacks, Amazon returns, and freeing up mental space for the emotional ups and downs of new parenthood. If you're in the newborn stage (or almost there), this is your financial survival guide. Key moments: (02:10) What I did pre-birth so I could focus on my newborn, not my bills (11:30) How (and why) to maximize hospital resources covered by your insurance (14:40) Week 1 postpartum: What I bought, didn't use, and returned (20:11) Week 2 postpartum: medical bills, rewards program, and subscription services to reclaim time Resources mentioned: The Doctors Bjorkman Hello Fresh Similac Rewards Pampers Rewards College savings plan There's no one-size-fits-all for wealth.
