Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® & Bri Conn Episode 16

In this episode of Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP, invites special guest Katy Seppi, founder of The Childless Collective, to discuss the societal pressure to follow the standard life plan of going to college, getting married, buying a house, having kids, retiring, and passing on assets to the next generation.

Katy shares her experience of growing up in a Mormon community, where having children was expected and considered a crucial aspect of life. She discusses her infertility journey & the emotional process it took on her.

In the podcast, Katy emphasizes that not having children does not make her life any less fulfilling, and that individuals have the ability to create a life that aligns with their unique circumstances and desires. The discussion also delves into the financial, mental, & emotional considerations and benefits of being childfree, including the ability to save and invest more for personal goals and experiences. Join Katy & Dr. Jay as they dig more into this often overlooked topic.
