Imagine this: you wake up after a restful night’s sleep, not to the crash of toys in the playroom, but to the soft chime of your alarm or maybe even sunlight streaming through your window. You ease into your morning by getting ready for a run or some work without negotiating with kids over what they can or can’t wear to school. You enjoy a delicious breakfast, again, without an argument with any kids. For us, this scenario feels like a distant dream. As our listeners know, our homes are filled with the beautiful chaos of kids, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! But not everyone wants that kind of life. Some folks genuinely prefer the peace and quiet of a child-free lifestyle which is totally fine! However, our guest today argues that life without kids comes with its own unique financial challenges. Joining us is Dr. Jay Zigmont, founder and CEO of Childfree Wealth. Jay is a flat-fee fiduciary who specializes in helping those without children navigate their distinct financial priorities and goals. Today, we’ll dive into his insights and explore what financial planning looks like for people living a child-free life. Have a listen!
