Six Months of Real Estate, Life Insurance, and Generational Wealth Lessons Over the past six months, one theme has consistently appeared throughout nearly every conversation, article, and lesson I’ve shared: Legacy does not happen by accident. It is built intentionally through the decisions we make today. In a world filled with financial noise, market speculation,…
Building wealth is difficult. Keeping wealth in the family for multiple generations is often even harder. History is filled with examples of families who accumulated significant wealth only to see it disappear within a generation or two. Often, the problem was not poor investing. It was poor planning. The families who successfully preserve wealth across…
