Having a baby brings innumerable expenses, and requires careful financial planning and budgeting. Baby or Bust is a must-have guide for new, soon-to-be and existing parents. It discusses the long-term costs of raising a child, how to save and plan for a baby, kitting out on a budget, returning to the workforce, finding childcare, and saving for school. Mother of four and former chartered accountant, Nicola Field is a contributor to Money Magazine and The Bulletin. Nicola wrote Financial Snakes and Ladders (Penguin) with Paul Clitheroe.
