WAW021: The True Cost of Being a Parent Part 1

Welcome to our twenty first episode of "A Word About Wealth”. We know  that raising kids is expensive, but how expensive are they? Are we  talking about $1-2 dollars? Or more like millions of dollars? We’re here  to tell you that, it’s somewhere in the middle. In part 1, we’re  going to be discussing how babies are born. Well, OK… not in the way you  might be thinking, but more along the lines of figuring out the types  of expenses that you might find in the delivery room. Believe me, it’s  not cheap! We’ll also go over budgeting best practices for raising a new  family and talk about how to take advantage of all the programs  available for you during your maternity and paternity leave. Don’t let  your new bundle of joy bankrupt you to the curb. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or topic recommendations, please email us at [email protected]. Subscribe to future episodes of “A Word About Wealth” as we strive to deliver financial entertainment to the masses.
