“Each moment we act in favour of our future, we are living our individual legacy”
Building wealth relies on proper financial planning, to clearly define future financial goals. The process of creating wealth starts with “seeds” of wealth which will then help build wealth-creating assets such as property, investments and anything that has a monetary value that can be passed on from generation to generation. Central to this process is the financial advisor that will help to guide the process. Besides assets that we can pass through the generations, we must also need instil certain values, habits, and financial education in our families. It’s not only what we leave for our loved ones that is important, but also what we leave in them to sustain the legacy. Wealth gives us more options in life; therefore, we need to have a clear financial plan.
