Ways To Build Generational Wealth
By Brian @ My Millennial Guide
Generational wealth is usually referred to as financial wealth that is passed down from one generation to another even though it can take other forms like traditions or heirlooms.
I’m currently in a position where I am trying to build wealth so that I can pass it down wealth from generation to generation. I’ll get into ways to build generational wealth later in the article but first I wanted to get into defining generational wealth…
What Is Generational Wealth?
Generational wealth is acquired by building generational assets which can include real estate, stocks, businesses, and many other types of assets.
In the aspect of financial planning, generational wealth is a term that is geared toward passing down stable, significant financial resources for future generations.
Okay, now that we covered generation wealth, how can one grow it?
How Can I Build Generational Wealth?
To build generational wealth, generally, you need to have an income, whether as a job, career or a business. Once you have set your earning capacity, then you can adjust your thinking to shift from an income-based mentality to an asset-based one which will help you to create wealth. I published another article recently about growing your wealth here that you may found beneficial.
Basically, you need to have the right mindset and the discipline to stick to your financial goals.
This is not a one-day activity and requires consistent and diligent action, and above all the belief in what you are trying to achieve. It goes without saying that you must spend less than you earn, or top savings skills, so as to have some excess funds for investments.
However, because you want the wealth you are accumulating to last beyond one generation, you also need to empower your children with financial literacy especially budgeting and good money habits and invest in their future by setting up trusts and funds in their names.
