In a new, very special, <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/death-sex-money">Death, Sex and Money</a> and <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/slate-money">Slate Money</a> crossover, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/authors/APo9WbueZ4A/felix-salmon">Felix Salmon</a> and <a href="https://annasale.com/">Anna Sale</a> dig into the difficult decision of whether or not to have kids. 
Child care? School? New vehicle? All the baby gadgets? Kids are expensive! Felix is famously childless, Anna has a couple kids on the older side. Between the two of them they dig into their decisions to have and not have kids (including Anna’s family’s decision to have TWO kids), the budgeting and balancing of all the emotional and financial costs of kids, how kids can be a benefit later in life, and more.
