Episode Description

The overwhelming cost of living can be stressful, cause anxiety and make people feel helpless. It's major concern for many Americans, including those who live in North Carolina. The average American family is having fewer children, and the average cost of child care is around $9,200 per year (and many would argue that's on the low side). 

Dan looks at how families today are feeling the pinch differently than previous generations.
