We’re often told that financial planning revolves around building wealth for future generations—but what happens when that’s not part of your plan? For child-free individuals, the approach to money, investing, and long-term security can look very different.
In this episode of Let’s Talk Money and More, Lesley Thomas sits down with Bri Conn, a financial planner specialising in child-free wealth, to discuss how financial goals shift when you’re not planning to leave a legacy for children. From spending guilt and investment strategies to financial independence and long-term care, Bri shares expert insights into how child-free individuals can create a life of financial confidence, freedom, and fulfilment.
✅ The difference between financial planning for parents vs. child-free individuals.
✅ How child-free individuals can approach wealth-building without legacy concerns.
✅ Why spending guilt is common—and how to overcome it.
✅ How to balance enjoying money now with long-term financial security.
✅ The role of generosity and charitable giving in financial planning.
✅ Why long-term care planning is essential for those without children.
✅ How financial confidence can help you design a life on your own terms.
🔹 Memorable Quotes from Bri:
✨ “Not everyone’s financial plan needs to include passing down wealth—sometimes, the goal is to fully enjoy what you’ve built.”
✨ “Giving yourself permission to spend can be one of the hardest money mindsets to shift.”
✨ “Your finances should support your life—not the other way around.”
If you're child-free and want to plan your finances with confidence, Bri and her team can help.
