Over the next few decades, more than $120 trillion is expected to pass from one generation to the next. That’s an extraordinary opportunity—but also a responsibility. The question many families face is: Are the next generation ready to manage and sustain that wealth?

True wealth goes beyond bank accounts. It includes investments, businesses, and real estate—and it requires preparation, stewardship, and purpose.

Why Education Matters

Financial literacy isn’t built in a day. It begins with simple lessons about saving and spending, then grows into understanding investing, taxes, and stewardship. For adult children who never received formal education, structured learning can make a world of difference.

Turning Learning Into Action

Families succeed when conversations about money become practice: a “practice portfolio” for kids, helping guide charitable giving, or even taking part in family business decisions. These experiences build confidence and capability.

Grounding Wealth in Values

At Sugden Wealth Management, we believe wealth is a tool—not a measure of self-worth. When grounded in values like stewardship, generosity, and responsibility, wealth becomes a resource for both today and tomorrow.
