Over a quarter of American men are fathers,¹ and this Father’s Day New York Life is celebrating everything dads do, everywhere.

This Father’s Day, we’ve compiled some tips for better family finances:

Save, save and save some more

Holding your new baby for the first time is a moment you’ll never forget. Right now, college might seem like a lifetime away. But those early years zip past in no time, and if you start saving as soon as possible, then it can help reduce any financial pressure down the line. 

Not only that, saving money now can help relieve stress, provide a safety net in case of an emergency, and give you more options later on. So, get saving as soon as you can, you won’t regret it.

Create a budget and stick to it

Feeding more mouths requires some financial adjustments. And, when you combine that with other expenditures, from sports and music lessons, to birthday gifts, an allowance, and all the other costs associated with being a parent, finances can quickly become stretched.

Creating a weekly or monthly budget to help you keep on top of your outgoings is a great start. Knowing exactly how much you have for regular expenses, such as groceries, can help simplify your monthly spending. You’ll find you’re able to enjoy your money that much more, with the confidence that you can make ends meet.
