Stacey Bradford, author of The Wall Street Journal Financial Guidebook for New Parents and a columnist for CBS MoneyWatch, reports on personal finance with a focus on family finance. A mother of two young children, Stacey will discuss "Money Saving Tips for Every Stage of Childhood," including useful advice for how to save on everyday items.


 
Beth Hirschhorn, MetLife's chief marketing officer and a mom of two young children, will share her insights about why so many new parents, who recognize that they need life insurance, find it difficult to get started. Beth will discuss ten simple tips every parent needs to know, including how much life insurance they really need and, importantly, how much it will cost.


 
David Port is a financial writer and editor whose books include The Caveman's Pregnancy Companion and The Caveman's Guide to Baby's First Year. A father of two young children, David will discuss 11 financial issues that overworked, overwhelmed, under-rested new parents/young families should be thinking about, discussing and acting on. Why 11? Because life's challenges don't always come in neatly bundled groups of 10.
