Send us an email: podcast@pensionbee.com    Having children can be one of the most wonderful and rewarding things you'll ever do, and it's impossible to put a price on all the joy that kids can bring you. However, there's no denying the impact that bringing up a family can have on your finances. Having a child can be a huge financial commitment. According to The Times, it'll take an average of nearly £203,000 to raise a child from birth to the age of 18. And it won't necessarily stop there, you might find yourself spending on your kids from before they're born until well into their adult lives. Add to that, the effects on your income that taking parental leave may bring - you might not know where to begin!  To talk through all the costs involved with having children and whether raising a family's currently affordable are our guests: CEO of Mumsnet; Justine Roberts CBE Financial Journalist and Senior Digital Editor at MoneyWeek; Kalpana Fitzpatrick PensionBee's CTO; Jonathan Lister Parsons.   Episode Breakdown:  02:12 Can you predict how much a baby will cost?  07:48 Statutory Maternity Pay 09:42 The problem with parental leave  11:56 Statutory Adoption Pay and Leave  12:46 The cost of childcare 14:58 Tax-Free Childcare Allowance 15:37 Child Benefit 20:37 Costs as your kids grow up 24:38 Paying for higher education. *We mention maternity pay in this episode and just wanted to be absolutely clear with the figures: Statutory Maternity Pay's paid up to 39 weeks You get 90% of your average weekly earnings for the first six weeks You get the lower of £172.48 or 90% of your average weekly earnings for the following 33 weeks.  *We also accidentally overstated the amount of Shared Parental Leave that you may be entitled to. We said you'd get a year, but it's actually up to 50 weeks of leave between parents.  *We state that the UK has the highest childcare costs in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Though this has been true as recently as 2022, the UK currently ranks third. However, this number's ever changing.    Further reading: For more help getting financially prepared for raising a family, check out these resources from PensionBee.

Today on show, we're getting to grips with the Budget. It was Chancellor Philip Hammond's first autumn Budget on Wednesday, always an exciting day in the world of personal finance, and today we're going to take a closer look at some of the key Budget measures.

This week on the show, we’re talking about stemming the tide of rising consumer debt. This is for you if you’ve got any unsecured consumer debts – things like store cards, credit cards, overdrafts, personal loans, car loans. We also discuss some of the issues with rising debt levels in the UK and how you can tackle any debts you might have. Introducing Kalpana Fitzpatrick Mummy Money Matters was launched by Kalpana Fitzpatrick, a well-respected financial journalist, broadcaster and parent, after she discovered that mums were often overlooked and kept out of the loop when it came to money. Finance can be unnecessarily complicated – MMM aims to keep it simple and relevant. As well as editing and writing for Mummy Money Matters, Kalpana appears regularly in the media as an expert commentator on personal finance and is often seen on TV (BBC, ITV and  Sky News). She is also often on most of the major radio stations. You can follow Kalpana on Twitter at @KalpanaFitz. Personal finance news -Consumers need to shop around when using price comparison websites, according to a review by the Competition and Markets Authority. The CMA suggested consumers should use a variety of price comparison sites when searching online for the best energy deals, holidays or insurance policies. -Happiness levels across the UK have improved, according to the latest official wellbeing figures. The figures from the Office for National Statistics, which are based on data to the year to the end of March, show rising satisfaction with life overall, but anxiety levels remaining the same. -Equifax chairman and chief executive Richard Smith has stepped down in the wake of a massive data breach earlier in the summer. As many as 143 million US customers had data exposed to hackers during the security breach, along with 400,000 Britons. -As many as 1.4 million low paid families are failing to claim Pension Credit. The state pension top-up is worth up to £2,000 a year. -Despite European gender equality laws, men are still being quoted more for car insurance than women. Research by Comparethemarket found this insurance pricing gap is widening, with men typically quoted 27% more than women for the cheapest cover.

Ever heard of bacon-flavoured knickers? Neither had money blogger and journalist Kalpana Fitzpatrick - until she was sent some porcine undercrackers by a thoroughly confused PR. She tells the Beer & Bytes team the rather curly tale. Our hosts also meander through the prevailing spat between Channel Four News and Facebook. And, in a new segment called 'Michael's Media Minute', they pick over The Guardian's money worries. So join Michael and Amy in cracking open a coldie as they crank up the patter on the stories that matter.

She is extremely passionate about making finance simple and accessible as well as helping consumers make the most of their money.
