I know you have your plan but I worked for a mutual fund company for 15 years (not a financial advisor)…. If you contribute 4% of your income to get the company match that is pre taxed which also lowers your taxable income. The impact to your paycheck would likely be minimal but the benefit would be an extra $3000 contribution from your employer that will be compounding every year you have left until retirement. The company that manages your 401k likely has a calculator to estimate the difference before you change anything. 🤷🏻♀️
About the food a nursing mom can eat. Coming from a mother that nursed two, and the country that has the highest number of breast feeding moms in the developed countries. 80% of newborns are still breastfed by the age of 6 months. You can eat as normal. No alcohol. Avoid raw dairy products. Most milk and cheeses are pasteurized/heated, so she will be fine. Lots of of fruits and vegetables, reduce the intake of salt and sugar. Happy New Year! 🎊
You are doing a great job. I look forward to watching your videos. I have a 4 month old granddaughter and her mom can’t eat dairy either. My daughter-in-law noticed blood in her stool and took her to the doctors. The doctor told her to stop eating dairy and once she did that within a day, the blood was. I nursed all my kids and that didn’t seem to bother them.
Yes, my daughter and I spent an evening in the emergency room because my daughter was freaking out about the blood before she realized what was wrong wrong and she is doing really good cutting up the dairy and soy, but she definitely misses cheese and can’t wait to go back to normal whenever she can do that

THIS!
Agree! Please start contributing up to the company match today!
Make sure you do the comparison on the tax liability vs the after tax contributions. People forget you don’t keep all that money.

When she was eating dairy and soy, her son was having blood in his stool and that is the reason she decided to take that out out of his diet
Loved this video!
Thank you ❤

Love the budget updates.
Thank you!
My rent is about the same and I break it up between my two cheques
825 per check it just hurts less haha 💕
Love your videos! New subscriber trying to watch older videos for the full story 😃
Glad you like them!
Please double check this minimum 4% thing in your 401K. That sounds wrong.
It’s what I saw when I looked
@ can you paste the language here including info on the match?
