Yes! I found one of the biggest blockers to my giving was not having a clear answer to the question “How much do I need?” I could answer in the present tense easily enough, but anything beyond 6 months from now got tricky.
My friends and I built a free open source budgeting tool that might help. Is it okay to share here? We built it purely for fun/good and not for profit (we all have day jobs).
Here’s a 30 second demo. https://www.loom.com/share/b6834b88f5624c46bb12d879c21a646c
Agreed!!! My wife and I were in a tail spin around this topic. We just left a conversation with a doula and WOW I’m feeling so much better.
I’m glad we took time to obsess over all the options, to make the lists, etc. etc. and I wish we had booked the call a few days sooner 🤣 We LOVED this doula, but we’re booking a call with another just to see what happened.
Hurrah for professionals who can help to communicate something of the experience. And hurrah for this incredible community out here taking the responsibility of life seriously.
How does karma work? I’m not sure why I received negative karma for sharing my thoughts 🤔
