One of the areas that Financial Connections specializes in is planning for single and non-traditional couples. While we don’t consider childfree couples non-traditional, financial planning curriculum usually assumes children.

Pew Research asked why childless adults didn’t want kids? The majority, 56%, said they just don’t want to.
