Over the last 60 or so years obtaining a good education and landing a stable job would form the basic ingredients to get established financially, afford a home, raise a family and save for an eventual retirement. All of that will drastically change in a relatively short period of time. People graduating this decade and next will have no choice but to rely much more than before on financial capital, or "family money" to achieve a similar outcome. This decade and the next will see some of the largest generational shifts in modern history. And it is more than the much-anticipated generational wealth transfer we hear so much about. A combination of factors - demographic, technological and geopolitical in nature - are at play. These factors will further exacerbate the challenges and risks families already face. These large, global forces will not only reshape entire economies but will also have a significant impact on our everyday lives. To be successful we need to shift our thinking about important topics such as work and retirement and think more strategically. Family Capital, A Step-By-Step Guide to Building Generational Family Wealth explores why that is the case and offers concrete steps to improve your own chances of success as well as the generations following you.
