Hello and welcome to episode 517 of the Money to the Masses podcast with your resident expert as always, Damien Faye and me, Andy Links.

Damien, welcome back. How are you doing?

I'm good, Andy. We had a slightly different podcast last week. We've had lots of great feedback about it.

I know it does feel like our podcast has changed quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.

And boy, did people know it because I was possibly the most immature in my year as well. I know parents have this debate about, I mean, no one can really second guess when they're going to have children, but you do have this weird scenario where people start looking at biological sort of clocks and calendars and thinking, right, can we time this right so that my child's born at the right time?
