    349. Inheriting Money: What to Do First?

    Over the next two decades, an estimated $124 trillion is expected to pass from one generation to the next. For many people, receiving an inheritance can feel overwhelming. The first challenge usually is not deciding how to invest the money. It is knowing what to do next. In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, we discuss the first steps to take after receiving an inheritance, the common mistakes to avoid, and why it is important to pause before making major financial decisions. An inheritance often comes during a difficult season of grief, family responsibility, and emotional decision-making, which makes having a clear plan even more important.

    348. How Do You Build Generational Wealth?

    When people hear the phrase “generational wealth,” they often picture trust funds, family empires, and names like Rockefeller or Kennedy. Real generational wealth is not just about leaving behind a large account balance. It is about passing down values, habits, opportunities, work ethic, and a clear understanding of how money can support a meaningful life. In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, we discuss what it really takes to build generational wealth. The conversation goes beyond dollars and investments, focusing instead on how families can prepare the next generation to handle money responsibly, pursue their own goals, and carry forward a family legacy with purpose.

    345. Are You Reacting to the Headlines or Sticking to the Plan?

    You weren't worried about your portfolio at breakfast. Then you check your phone and see recession warnings, tariff headlines, Federal Reserve predictions, and market experts declaring that "this time is different."
