    We’re currently in the midst of an entire generation inheriting over $54 trillion, but completely unprepared to manage it due to lack of financial conversations within the household, while both spouses were alive. In this powerful episode of The Wealth Cafe, we examine the baby boomer generation and why the transferring of wealth from husbands to wives has become fraught with roadblocks for the surviving spouse because of questions left unasked and unanswered. These will be some of the most consequential financial decisions that these spouses will ever make, so if this sounds like your situation, we highly encourage you to tune into this special episode.  What we’ll cover: ✅ How to prepare for a large inheritance. ✅ The Widow’s Penalty explained.  ✅ Emotional & financial challenges when it comes to losing a spouse. ✅ Importance of understanding household finances.  From now on, nothing should be an afterthought. If you have questions or need additional information about how your money works, make sure to ask about it sooner rather than later. The spouses that work together and devise a plan of action for when the inevitable happens are the ones that will avoid the struggle of unnecessary stress and anxiety when it comes to what they’re inheriting, as well as how to manage it. ☕️For more tips and advice, make sure to subscribe to the show so you don't miss an episode! 🔍INSTAGRAM:  /  / https://www.instagram.com/tanisfingroup/   LINKEDIN:  /  / https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-tanis/  YOUTUBE:  /  / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHxRZmUZwZVHD4ihCu2iK-w  BLOG:  /  / https://tanisfingroup.com/blog/  ------------ 🔗CONNECT Website: https://tanisfingroup.com/   Email: caroline@tanisfingroup.com
