According to research done by the authors of the book *The Millionaire Next Door,* 70% of American millionaires are first generation. This means that in most instances wealth is not being effectively passed down to the next generation, as it is not being preserved. That generation doesn't know how to handle that much money (how many lottery winners are broke a year or two later?)
So to talk about how to deal with inherited wealth, in this episode of the podcast I talk with Master Life Coach Chase Collins about how people who achieve significant financial independence can prepare their children for the receipt and handling of a significant financial legacy.
In this episode you will learn:
- The 3 biggest mistakes people make with inherited wealth
- How to teach your children how to handle inherited wealth
- How to deal with guilt associated with wealth
- About avoiding the "Expectation Trap"
- How to manage wealth and avoid losing it shortly after inheriting it
