An essential and comprehensive personal finance and money management guide for Childfree and Permanently Childless people.

Design the life you want, then create the right financial plan to get you there.

Financial planning looks vastly different for DINKs (dual-income, no kids) and SINKs (single-income, no kids). But nearly all the advice out there assumes you have children or will have them someday. Everything from pursuing the kind of career you want; deciding whether you want to buy a house, rent, or hit the road as a digital nomad; to planning and filing taxes; budgeting and investing your money; and getting set up for retirement or your later years is different. Simply said: When you aren’t following the Standard LifeScript (go to college, get married, buy a house, have kids), you have the time, money, and freedom to do what you want.

Childfree Wealth Specialist® Dr. Jay Zigmont flips FIRE―Financial Independence, Retire Early―on its head, showing how people without kids can live the FILE life―Financial Independence, LIVE Early―by following his eight No-Baby Steps. Whether you’re single, coupled up, or planning the perfect Golden Girls living arrangement with your best friends, The Childfree Guide to Life and Money is the most comprehensive resource for designing your life, figuring out your finances, and living your best life.

“If building your best life of wealth and prosperity does not include having your own children, Jay Zigmont’s The Childfree Guide to Life and Money is a must read.

A childfree person himself, Dr. Zigmont understands what makes our lives unique, how our struggles and dreams aren’t so different from others’, and how we can best harness our strengths and individuality to plan a life of financial independence and future stability.”
