  • Life Insurance Without Kids: Protection or Overkill? Ep 134
    Apr 23 2025

    Being Childfree comes with its own set of financial rules—so does that mean life insurance is off the table? In this episode, we dive into whether Childfree individuals actually need life insurance, uncovering scenarios where it might make sense (hint: it usually doesn’t!).

    We explore why term life insurance could be valuable if others truly rely on your income—like a disabled spouse, dependent parents, or business partners—and caution against costly traps like whole life or universal policies often pushed by commission-based agents. You'll learn why mixing investment with insurance rarely pays off, and why working with a fee-only financial planner is crucial.

    We'll also help you evaluate existing policies, figure out if you're over-insured, and determine when employer-provided life insurance makes sense.

    Action Items:

    ✅ Review existing life insurance policies to assess their necessity.
    ✅ Consult a fee-only financial planner for personalized guidance.
    ✅ Check the specifics of your employer-provided coverage.
    ✅ Calculate your actual financial obligations before considering any new policy.

    Tune in to confidently navigate life insurance decisions without kids—no unnecessary coverage, just smart protection!

    Apr 16 2025

    Finding your people as a childfree adult isn’t always easy—and the bigger the city, the harder it can be.

  • From Learning To Action: When Dr. Jay and Bri Are the Voices in Your Head, Ep. 132
    Apr 9 2025

    Are you stuck in the loop of consuming financial content without actually making meaningful changes? You're not alone! In this episode, we dive deep into why turning knowledge into action is critical for your financial and personal growth—especially when you're Childfree.

    You'll learn why monthly financial check-ins focused on one or two concrete actions can transform your progress, how tools like the Childfree Wealth checkup reveal what you might be overlooking, and why recognizing your financial blind spots (from unconscious incompetence to conscious action) is essential. Plus, we’ll tackle the importance of regularly assessing your finances, openly communicating with your partner, and checking in honestly about your job satisfaction.

    Action Items:
    ✅ Regularly evaluate your progress towards financial goals—and seek guidance if you're feeling stuck.
    ✅ Have a candid conversation with your partner about your finances.
    ✅ Reflect on your job satisfaction and identify any necessary changes to align your work with your life goals.
