How Generational Wealth Works?

The concept of building generational wealth is easy. You simply have to acquire assets or save cash that you don't intend to spend in retirement. Then you pass those assets along to your children when you pass away.

How much money do you need to create generational wealth?

The short answer; Generational wealth is achieved when you've accumulated enough investments to pay for your families living expenses in perpetuity without touching the principal. If you're looking for a specific number like “$10 million,” you are going to be disappointed.

When you earn a profit from a property or investment (say, the stock market), you normally have to pay capital gains tax.
