Financial legacy — what you leave behind

Financial legacy is not simply the assets that transfer at death — it is the economic habits, beliefs, and patterns that children absorb over a lifetime of watching how money is held, used, and talked about. The person who leaves a significant inheritance alongside a model of anxious acquisition may leave a more damaging legacy than they intended. What you build financially is less important than what you demonstrate about why you built it and what you believed it was for.
