Episode Summary

A behind-the-scenes look at a real financial planning session with Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, and his client Anna.

Welcome to the Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®. This month, we'll be discussing retirement in the United States as it pertains to Childfree individuals. We'll explore how the traditional retirement plan that we are taught from a young age doesn't fit Childfree individuals and why retirement is a choice for us.

 

As Childfree individuals, instead of following the Standard Life Plan, we have the option to choose a different path. Instead of pursuing retirement we can pursue FILE or Financial Independence Live Early as an alternative. We'll delve into what FI or Financial Independence means and how it can be achieved prior to the typical retirement age of 65.

Join us this month as we dive into the topic of retirement for Childfree individuals and discover how you can achieve Financial Independence Live Early. Tune in to the Childfree Wealth Podcast, where we empower Childfree individuals to live a wealthy and fulfilling life.
