Are your financial decisions built on assumptions that no longer hold true?

Most investors still rely on growth models tied to population expansion — but what happens when 25% of Americans are child-free and birth rates keep falling?

In this episode, we dive into the controversial but urgent conversation around Child-Free Wealth, Demographics, and Investing with Jay Zigmont, PhD, CFP®, founder of Childfree Wealth. He explains why the “standard life script” no longer applies, how demographic decline threatens our economy, and what that means for your money.

You’ll discover:

  1. Why demographic realities may upend traditional investing assumptions like constant market growth.
  2. How being child-free changes financial planning — from estate design to long-term care.
  3. What investors and advisors must do now to prepare for a future where sustainability, not endless growth, is the benchmark.

👉 Listen now to learn how to design wealth decisions that fit the real world — not outdated assumptions.
