    Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren't. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont's "Portraits of Childfree Wealth" is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you're in the same boat, you'll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you'll learn how the other half lives. And if you're a finance professional, you'll see how money still plays a role for people who don't have to worry about leaving assets to their children.  
    In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.

    Victimization is a complex and multifaceted process that occurs when an individual or group is subjected to harm, oppression, or injustice. It is not merely the result of a singular event but often an ongoing experience shaped by societal structures, personal relationships, and systemic forces. Understanding victimization requires examining both the immediate and long-term effects on those who suffer, as well as the roles played by perpetrators, bystanders, and institutions that enable or prevent such harm. 
    At its core, victimization involves the exercise of power and control, where one party imposes harm—whether physical, psychological, emotional, or financial—upon another. This harm can be intentional, as in cases of abuse, assault, or discrimination, or unintentional, where systems and structures create disadvantages that lead to victimhood. The process of victimization is not always overt; it can be subtle, embedded within social norms, policies, and expectations that gradually erode a person’s autonomy, dignity, and sense of self-worth. 
    One of the key challenges in defining victimization lies in the perception of victims themselves. Some individuals openly recognize and acknowledge their victim status, while others may resist the label due to fear, shame, or social stigma. Society often imposes expectations on victims—either portraying them as weak and helpless or, conversely, blaming them for their circumstances. This duality can make it difficult for individuals to seek support or justice, reinforcing cycles of suffering and silence.

    The Aksumite Empire was one of the most significant and influential civilizations of ancient Africa. Emerging around the first century AD, it became a powerful and sophisticated state that played a crucial role in connecting diverse cultures and trade networks across continents. Its strategic location, bridging the Red Sea and the interior of the African continent, allowed Aksum to flourish as both a political and economic hub, facilitating exchanges between the Mediterranean world, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond. 
    At the heart of Aksum’s success was its remarkable ability to integrate various cultural and economic influences. The empire was not only a center for commerce but also a melting pot of traditions, languages, and beliefs. This rich cultural mosaic is reflected in its unique art, architecture, and inscriptions, which have provided modern scholars with invaluable insights into the life and achievements of this ancient society. The monuments and stelae scattered across the landscape serve as enduring testaments to the empire's power and its sophisticated understanding of both artistry and engineering. 
    The rise of Aksum was deeply intertwined with the development of its political structures and the establishment of a centralized administration. Early rulers of the empire forged alliances through both diplomacy and military might, thereby securing their territories against external threats and internal discord. As the state grew in power, it adopted innovative approaches to governance that balanced traditional practices with the demands of a rapidly expanding empire. These innovations laid the groundwork for what would later be recognized as the first Christian kingdom in Africa.

    [How to Recognize Toxic Friendships] delves into the intricate dance of human connection, where the lines between support and suffocation blur in the most subtle ways. With unflinching precision and raw emotional honesty, this exploration peels back the layers of seemingly normal friendships to reveal the quiet erosion that occurs when toxicity masquerades as care. Through a masterful examination of the invisible threads that bind us—from the weight of unspoken expectations to the currency of shared secrets—the book illuminates the complex patterns that transform connection into constraint. Written with a devastating clarity that echoes through everyday moments of friendship, this work doesn't just describe toxic relationships; it maps the delicate territory between loyalty and self-preservation, offering readers a mirror to recognize their own experiences in the soft violence of manipulated intimacy.
