Being childfree comes with unique financial opportunities and challenges—and planning for the future requires a different approach. In this episode, we explore key strategies for childfree individuals to secure their financial independence and live a fulfilling life.

We dive into the “die with zero” philosophy—focusing on fully enjoying your wealth during your lifetime instead of saving it for inheritance. Learn why long-term care, estate planning, and proper insurance (like disability insurance) are essential for your childfree journey.

We’ll also discuss how to prepare for life’s unexpected twists, from relationship changes to shared living arrangements, with flexibility and confidence. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, it’s never too early to craft a plan for a rich and meaningful life—on your terms.
