The United States policy on maternity leave can be a touchy subject among families, and especially women. Unlike all other wealthy countries, many of which mandate weeks and months of paid leave for natural and adoptive mothers and fathers, the U.S. mandates no such thing.
In fact, the last movement toward maternity fairness in the U.S., the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), included a provision mandating 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for mothers of newborn or newly adopted children.

When you are living paycheck to paycheck, down on your luck, or living a student lifestyle, it can be difficult to imagine a world where you are suddenly building wealth. Take this comment from Kendra on one of our Ask the Readers posts, “What do you do when you’re broke?”
“I feel like like Caleb a bit — in that most of these blogs don’t cover how to get started. I mean for a student, for someone who’s been born into poverty, how does one get started? I’m a student. I have NO income and my graduate program won’t allow me to get a job. I only have ‘living’ money from loans — and quite frankly, when I need more, I just get another school loan. (I have full faith that I’ll be able to pay debt off quickly and make great pay at a job sometime in June/July).
