What Does Childcare Actually Cost?
In this episode, we break down every childcare option out there, what each one costs, and how to figure out what's right for your family. We hear from an economist who reframes childcare as an investment (not a money pit), and a financial expert who walks us through the real numbers — from daycare centers and nanny shares to au pairs and the grandparent option nobody talks about enough. We also tackle the myth that childcare expenses should come out of mom's salary. It doesn't. It's an expense the entire family shares. And once you see it that way, everything changes. Corinne Low (@corinnelowphd) is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School. Her book Having It All (Flatiron) is a USA Today national bestseller, and her research has been published in top journals including the American Economic Review and Journal of Political Economy. Farnoosh Torabi (@farnooshtorabi) is one of America’s leading personal finance authorities — hooked on helping you live your richest, happiest life. She is a multi-bestselling Financial Author, former CNBC host and creator of the Webby-nominated podcast So Money.

Are Kids More Expensive Than Ever?
In our very first episode, we're tackling the question every parent asks: are kids actually more expensive than ever? Yes—but the reason might surprise you. We hear from an economist who reframes what that actually means for your family's finances (hint: you're not burning money, you're investing it), and a mom of three who proves you don't need a huge home, a fancy car, or a perfectly curated nursery to raise a happy family. Because here's the truth: kids will flip your finances upside down. And they're worth every penny. Let's get into it. Corinne Low (@corinnelowphd) is an Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School. Her book Having It All (Flatiron) is a USA Today national bestseller, and her research has been published in top journals including the American Economic Review and Journal of Political Economy. Amil Niazi (@amilniazi) is a writer and producer. She writes The Cut’s series on parenting, The Hard Part, and covers work and motherhood and how the two intersect.
