Childfree Wealth® - Forced Adulting

12/06/23 • 27 min

​​The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples. In this episode, Bri & Dr. Jay discuss the concept of forced adulting.

The concept of forced adulting came from a client. As Dr. Jay walked through the financial planning process with them, they referred to it as forced adulting. Simply put, it’s accountability in getting done the things you need to do. When working with clients, each month we focus on one or two things allowing clients to complete tasks without feeling too overwhelmed. While these tasks can be completed on your own, sometimes it’s easier to have professional help to answer questions & provide accountability.
