Hello and welcome to another episode of the Homeowner Prep Podcast. I’m your host, Eric Hellon, and on today’s episode we’re gonna talk all about generational wealth, and I know a lot of times we provide information that’s more educational, step-by-step processes to follow in order to make sure that you can become a homeowner, but today it’s gonna fall in line with a little bit of encouragement, a little bit of a mental mindset that you have to have in order for generational wealth to truly start with you.
The first thing to understand when it comes to generational wealth is that most people think that millionaires often start out with money from an inheritance or somebody who set aside money, property, assets for them to inherit in order for them to get to where they’re at. But the truth is, over 79% of American millionaires started from zero. Meaning they didn’t have an inheritance, they didn’t have physical assets that they inherited, but they did inherit one thing, and that is the millionaire mindset.
You have to understand that when it comes to forming generational wealth here in America, you have to be very counter-cultural. The culture wants you to spend money, not save, go into debt, and all these different things that are anti-generational wealth. So you have to have a mindset to say, I’m not gonna do what these commercials and what America wants me to do. I’m gonna do the opposite. I’m gonna actually earn money, keep a majority or at least a percentage of that money, invest it, stay away from debt and buy real assets. And so if you want to have that mindset, if you want to have generational wealth that you can pass down, you have to be counter-cultural.
The second thing to keep in mind when it comes to generational wealth and really having assets to pass down is that over 90% of millionaires own real estate. We are a real estate based company, we’re helping folks who have never owned a home who may be renting or living with family, and helping them transition to become homeowners because oftentimes that first asset is going to be your own home. That might be the biggest asset that you actually purchase in your life, but it gives you an opportunity to pass on that wealth to the next generation.
And so we do focus a lot on building generational wealth and setting the tone for your future generations through real estate. Buying your first home gives you an opportunity to pass on that wealth and set your kids up, and maybe even your grandkids up, for a better future. Just because you didn’t start out with assets to call your own doesn’t mean that your kids and your grandkids shouldn’t start out with those assets.
Don’t think automatically that they’re going to use that money in the wrong way. If you teach your kids how to manage those assets, how you acquired them when you started out with nothing, it’ll give them a deeper appreciation and help them to teach their own kids the right way to make sure that that wealth lasts for generations to come.
The third thing to understand when it comes to having this mindset of generational wealth is that, yes, it does start with you, but it doesn’t end with you. It’s very important that we have open conversations and open dialogue with kids, with nephews, nieces, grandkids, about the importance of building wealth, the importance of owning real assets and how to manage their money wisely.
These conversations just don’t happen. There was actually a recent article that covered this in deeper detail, and it talked about how people tend to think that rich households have these conversations with their kids and poor households don’t. Well, the research actually showed that both households are not having these conversations.
The poor don’t wanna talk about it because they feel ashamed that they’re not managing their money correctly while they’re rich don’t wanna talk about their wealth because they don’t want the kids to just think about their money and not think about the hard work that’s needed. So it’s important that you have these conversations.
No matter what your household makeup looks like, you have to set the tone for future generations. Be open about your finances, talk about the mistakes that you’ve made, talk about the lessons that you’ve learned, and that’ll truly help your kids to make the right decisions in the future, even if you don’t have assets to pass down. When it comes to generational wealth, you can build a millionaire mindset or a money mindset to really help them in the future when it comes to managing the money that comes their way.
