Building a lasting financial legacy is more than just accumulating wealth—it’s about creating a roadmap for your family’s future. Yet, many families stumble in this crucial task. Common pitfalls include procrastination, poor communication, and neglecting financial education for younger generations. Some create inflexible plans that can’t adapt to life’s changes, while others overlook tax implications or focus solely on monetary assets, ignoring the value of shared principles and life lessons.

“Your legacy isn’t just about money. It’s about family values as well.” — John B. Leeming, CFP® President at JL Bainbridge

Successful legacy building starts with open family discussions about financial goals and values. It involves reviewing investment strategies and following plans that cover retirement, long-term care, and even estate planning needs. More than anything, it requires a multi-generational vision. Also important: don’t underestimate increased life expectancies or the complexities of wealth transfer.

Remember, your legacy isn’t just about money. It’s about equipping future generations with financial wisdom, shared values, and the tools to build upon what you’ve started.
