Delanie Fischer is joined by Certified Financial Planner and Childfree Wealth Specialist, Dr. Jay Zigmont, to discuss how vital it is to rethink traditional systems around wealth, financial planning, and retirement—because they don't work for many of us. Through the lens of a child-free lifestyle, Dr. Jay shares how to ensure that our current life, and retirement plan, actually reflects our values and goals—including the most important question to ask your financial planner to avoid an enormous conflict of interest. Whether you have kids or not, this episode will forever change the way you approach the systems we live in.
