![Jude has so much personality. He loves to choose his own clothes, and try on outfits and accessories at every store we go to. #ad When he’s satisfied with an outfit, he checks himself out in the mirror and walks as if he was on the runway. I don’t know what the future holds right now but if he follows his dreams, he’ll be a fashion designer or a runway model. That’s when it hit me. I need to start planning for the future, and save for Jude’s college fund.
I’m not a planning-type of person. Nah, I’m more of a “let’s wing it” type of mom… I’ve decided to be smart about this and I’m using a useful automatic financial planning service called @Wealthfront which has answered all the questions I’ve had and more. I’ve been using it for two weeks and I’m impressed. If like me you need a little help to get started, check them out. I feel like a real adult all of a sudden! :D #Wealthfront [ LINK IN BIO ]](http://scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/ebaf050fdbec9f4a7741a438124603a3/5CBAD51F/t51.2885-15/e35/c180.0.720.720/s320x320/50115156_140218556987787_7615335186887773367_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-frx5-1.cdninstagram.com "Jude has so much personality.
