Summary
Today we are celebrating this OBGYN taking a 5 month maternity leave and still building wealth through the process. This dual doc couple took advantage of all their state and employer benefits to really minimize the financial impact of taking maternity and paternity leave. Despite taking a hit to their income their wealth grew by around $200,000. Her advice to anyone who is starting a new job and wants to have kids at some point is to look very closely at what the maternity benefits the job offers. She also recommended sitting down with HR to make sure you understand the benefit options. After the episode we will talk about Treasury Direct for Finance 101.
