Financial journalist, author and speaker Kimberly Palmer joins the show to discuss her new book "Smart Mom, Rich Mom" (order it here!). Kimberly says that the biggest problem families face is not preparing for the financial impact of kids. That’s amazing considering that raising a child costs $250,000-- not including college! How will you pay for it?

Kimberly is the Features Editor of AARP and throughout her career, she has been covering the issues that confront women of her own generation. Our conversation highlighted many of the themes of her new book, including how women are navigating the financially challenging career/parenting years.

"Smart Mom, Rich Mom" is filled with relevant stories, checklists, action steps and planning tools to help moms (and dads!) prepare financially for parenthood, like balancing college saving and retirement saving, despite increased expenses; planning for unexpected events, like a layoff or illness; and adopting healthy habits--and making hard decisions--that pay off in abundance.

The "Money Queen" Cary Carbonaro, CFP  is in the house to help us build wealth and banish fears about money. Cary has been an investment advisor for over 25 years and says that women have unique a relationship with money. "We strive for financial security to support our family, ensure we can retire comfortably, create independence separate from our partners....as much as we are motivated to make money, we often do not consider the crucial relationship between what we do today and how it can impact our life tomorrow."
