You're kind of like, too many choices.

But the other challenge is you're not following the standard life script.

The standard life script is you go to school, you get married, you have kids, you pass them on to the next generation.

Well, when you're not following the standard script, things feel like they don't fit you.

Even something like buying a house is not a great idea for most child-free people because they move all the time.

There's just different assumptions that happen there.

So we end up saying to our child-free clients is you plan for your life first, then your finances, then your taxes.

which is completely different than, hey, I just saved for retirement.

When I'm ready, I can retire.

So the first question we really get into is kind of, what do you want your impact to be?

You get to kind of that 40s-ish age.

A lot of child-free people hit what we call the child-free midlife crisis.

This is when you hit your personal, professional, financial goals.

And then you're like, what do I do next?

What's the next 40 years of my life look like?

What do I want to do?

And what happens is for parents, often their goals will shift to their kids.

Whether that's right or wrong, that's a different discussion.

But I want to make sure Johnny goes to college or grandkids or whatever else it is.

But with child-free folks, it's a question of what type of life you want to live.
