Can You Afford To Have A Baby?

Thinking about starting a family but want to know how much it will actually cost? I was also curious so invited Financial Advisor Jayde Jenkins back to the studio to unpack the real financial costs of becoming a parent as well as the opportunity cost for the primary care giver (usually the female) on taking time out from their career.

We talk about everything from:

* IVF, egg freezing, and birthing costs (public, private, home birth)

* The true cost of raising a child from 0 to 24 (hint: it’s over $350K...)

* Career and superannuation impacts for caregivers (mostly women)

* Government parental leave, upcoming policy changes & what you’re entitled to

* Negotiating with your partner and employer - before the baby arrives

* Financial abuse, divorce stats, and the million+ single-parent households in Australia

* How to prepare financially, protect yourself legally, and have the conversations that matter

Whether you’re preparing to start a family or just want to feel more empowered about the path ahead, this episode is filled with helpful tips, realistic numbers, and thought-provoking insights.
