Raising a human baby is probably one of the most difficult things you can do in your life. From ensuring your child’s physical and mental well being to securing their financial future, parenting will always keep you on your toes. What’s more, if you’re a new parent, you likely have little-to-no idea about how to do any of that competently.

Specifically, talking about your kid’s self-sufficiency, you want them to be financially independent as soon as possible. This is not just for their own good, but for you as well. You obviously don’t want them to be mooching off of you (or their friends) in their mid-twenties.

While there are countless factors that come into play, there’s a lot you can do (even before they enter the teenage years) to boost your odds of being successful in raising self-sufficient children. Check out the infographic below by Peachy which neatly lays out ten actionable steps you can execute straight away.
