I lucked out and grew up with two entrepreneur as parents. I started coming up with my own "ideas" at 10 years old, and running pretend businesses out of my bedroom. Started working at the familys small business at 16 and now I handle most of it so my parents can relax/rest.

Find yourself a mentor who has done it before and has success to show from it. That’s what I did and although I only just started my business, I can tell I’m with the right group of people

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM? When people ask if this is your first, do you share that it’s not your first pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy and would be my first living child; it’s been on my mind as I head into the second tri (which is when I lost my last baby).
