How to Money

The Childfree Guide to Money w/ Dr. Jay Zigmont #920Imagine 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! Want more How To Money in your life?

Pursuing Happiness In All the Wrong Ways (Bestie) #923We hope that you’re having a wonderful holiday season. And if you celebrate Christmas, or any holiday that involves the exchange of gifts- isn’t it so much fun giving presents and seeing the faces of your loved ones light up? And while that might be the case on Christmas morning, it’s a different story later in the day for many adults and kiddos alike. There’s frequently a post present letdown that many of us experience. Either there was something we wanted that we didn’t get, or the gifts that we did receive aren’t quite as awesome as expected. They don’t make us happy and we easily fall into the trap of pursuing happiness in all the wrong ways. Of course on the surface this is something that you already know, but while many of us would say that we agree with this sentiment, we actually end up living our lives in contradictory ways. In this episode we detail some of the different ways that we’re chasing after happiness, but then we discuss two different types of happiness and how we can make sure that we’re pursuing the kind that will last.
