Working constantly to build inheritance often backfires: you miss their childhood and they can't use the money anyway. He pushes for intentional choices about when and how you actually support them.

And also your legacy. You know, people are like, I'm working hard for my kids. You know, they're 60, I'm working hard for your kids. Like, well, part of the legacy and the fulfillment from your kids is spending time with you. Moments for you. Not you going to work, you with them. Memories with them. So in some situations, in a perverse way, you going to work to make more money to give your kids when you die is actually taking away from the fulfillment. -Wow. -and diminishing your your legacy. Interesting. So we have to be really intentional and think about what are we trying to do when our kids, with kids, giving our kids money? And, you know, six-year-olds are not kids. You know what I mean? So I think one of the most asinine things we do or the most autopilot, not living with intention things we do is wait till we die to transfer assets to our kids.
