We tackle the complex and often controversial topic of generational wealth, shifting the focus from simply leaving an inheritance to actively preparing the next generation to handle it. Whether you are building wealth from scratch or navigating the nuances of being a “trust fund kid,” we explore how to foster open communication, set healthy boundaries, and ensure your financial legacy is a gift of opportunity rather than a burden of entitlement. Along the way, we revisit core concepts from Die With Zero as we reconsider our previous views and challenge the stigmas surrounding generational wealth.
Greg joins this week’s podcast as we talk about:
