  • Building Your Nest Egg, Not a Nursery
    Mar 11 2024

    Rethinking Legacy - The Child-Free Journey with Dr. Jay Zigmont Host: Constantine J Kitrinos, CPFA | Managing Partner | Wealth Advisor Guest: Dr. Jay Zigmont, MBA, CFP | Found & CEO Guest Website: https://childfreewealth.com This episode of Pennywise Financial tackles a topic that's as personal as it gets: financial planning for a child-free life. Our guest is Dr. Jay Zigmont, the mastermind behind ChildfreeWealth.com, and together we delve into a world where the traditional goals of wealth preservation and inheritance shift dramatically. For some, the decision to be child-free is a deeply personal one, driven by various factors. Whether it's due to biological limitations, a desire for a different lifestyle, or a focus on alternative aspirations, Dr. Zigmont's approach to financial planning flips the script. His clients prioritize living life to the fullest, maximizing spending and charitable giving throughout their lifetime, rather than leaving a massive nest egg for unseen heirs. As your host, this episode pushed my own boundaries. My journey to parenthood wasn't easy, and grappling with a completely different perspective on legacy was a challenge. But the conversation is honest, thought-provoking, and ultimately, incredibly valuable. Join us as we explore: The unique financial needs and goals of the child-free population. How Dr. Zigmont's strategies differ from traditional financial planning. The emotional complexities surrounding legacy and wealth transfer. Redefining what it means to live a fulfilling and financially secure life. This episode might be controversial, but it's guaranteed to spark conversation and open your mind to new possibilities. Tune in and discover the power of planning for the life you choose to live, with or without children. #childfree #financialplanning #retirementincome #legacy #charitablegiving #consulting #retirement #longtermcare The following music was used for this media project: Music: Back Roads In The Afternoon by Justin Allan ArnoldFree download: ⁠https://filmmusic.io/song/11209-back-...
