Legacy
I don’t think leaving a financial legacy should be the goal. Working hard and leaving something to your grandkids is cool but that’s about it.
Do you know your great-great-great-grandfather’s full name? Doubtful.
In the end, you’re gonna die and will be forgotten. If you leave a big pile of money behind, it will eventually end up in a stranger’s hands. What good is that?
All your hard work is either multiplied or wasted.
Why not give most away with a warm hand now instead of a cold hand later?
