Intentional Wealth: How Families Build Legacies of Stewardship and Financial Health, Paperback/Courtney Pullen

Descriere

"From shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations." Modern research confirms the truth of this adage; some 90% of affluent families lose their wealth by the end of the third generation. The true tragedy is that, as the wealth dissolves, so does the family. Members often end up disconnected and embroiled in conflict. The result is harm to the families, to their communities, and to the larger culture. The crucial question this book addresses is: What are the other 10% doing? How do families achieve success and prosperity, enjoy the fruits of that success, and pass on a legacy of financial and emotional health? What's the secret to ensuring the American Dream doesn't turn into the American Nightmare? For many families, the answer is intentionality. Flourishing families consciously work to create legacies of stewardship, values, and balance. Intentional Wealth shares some of the strategies these thriving families use to help all their members build healthy, empowered relationships with money. Intentional Wealth is about what works. It is a valuable guide for any family wanting to go from shirt sleeves to success, generation after generation.
