Legacy and What You Leave Behind

What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

This is a simple question for me, but it is loaded. I want my wife and I to leave a legacy for our future family members, a legacy of generational wealth.

Generational wealth would be huge for the futures of our kin, allowing them more possibilities to exist in this world. This world can be expensive, and education is even more expensive.

We want them to be able to travel the world, become culturally savvy, and experience life and nature. We want them to be able to pursue a job they want instead of needing. Go to college anywhere they want instead of what they can afford.

We want them to know hard work and how to be sensible with money. That way, it stays generational. We also want them to have flexibility. If they want to help change the world for the better, it allows them to do so.

My wife and I work very hard and have learned a lot financially. It has become a big topic in our house, especially investing. We are looking down the road, and we are happy with the direction we are going. We hope to accumulate enough to break the wheel of paycheck to paycheck. Deep debt with credit cards and loans. We want generational wealth!
