This book would have been good for me 10+ years ago when I was pregnant but there were some sections that were still good review (RESP math for example). It's perfect for pregnant Canadian moms (or Canadian moms of young kids) who feel clueless about financially planning for having kids. Even if you're a mom of a school-age child, it's easy to skip the sections that no longer apply to you (eg. matleave). The writing style is really informal and explanations are therefore more clear than you'd get from the bank.

If you're a mom or mom-to-be, looking for some advice on money and childrearing look no further! Get Your $hit Together is a comprehensive primer on getting the basics together when you have kids.

As an expectant mom with little to no knowledge of finances, I thought that this book might be a good start and I wasn't wrong. The book is broken easy to digest chapters and explores topics well enough to give you a thorough understanding but without you feeling overwhelmed by the nitty gritty of investments and RRSPs.

I would highly recommend this book to people like me as a basic primer to get ready for baby.
