In this podcast episode of 'Unapologetically Child Free', host Maggie Dickens (that's ME!), a licensed therapist, explores the financial implications of choosing a child-free lifestyle.
She discusses the average costs of raising a child, including education, healthcare, and everyday expenses, and disputes the assumption that not having a child equals having an abundance of extra cash.
