AIE 201: Childfree and Charitable: Dying With Zero

More people are choosing to be child free. Is there a difference between being childless and child free? Lauren thinks so, but it’s a gray area. When coming to Bri for financial planning, her clients are not telling them why they’ve chosen not to have children. Presumably, there are financial implications. Lauren asks if there is a moral obligation to have children. They also touch on whether it’s selfish to have or not have kids, and there are arguments on both sides. Whatever the case, once you choose not to have kids, this opens up a lot of flexibility because you’re not usually as worried about leaving a legacy and creating generational wealth. This line of questioning leads to a discussion about dying with zero (side note: Die with Zero is a good book!). Many of Bri’s clients are focused on charitable giving, and they build this into their financial plans. Lauren asks how people with kids can be supportive and kind to those who do. Firstly, don’t assume they have more time or money than you do. Don’t assume a sibling without kids should be responsible for taking care of your parents, for example.
