Why Most Family Wealth Disappears by the Third Generation
The statistics are brutal: 70%
of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation, and
90% have depleted it by the third. But here's what those studies
miss—it's rarely about bad investments or market crashes.
The real killer is lack of
preparation. When the next generation inherits assets they don't
understand, managed by advisors they've never met, using strategies
nobody explained to them.
"We don't just teach financial concepts. We help families have
conversations they've been avoiding for years. Sometimes the most
valuable thing we do is get everyone in the same room talking
honestly about money."
Our programs start these
conversations early. We work with families over months, not hours,
because real change takes time to develop and even longer to
stick.
