Generational Wealth Defined
- Generational wealth means assets passed between family generations, like cash, stocks, real estate, or businesses.
- Vivian Tu stresses it's about protecting assets and teaching heirs to manage them so wealth endures.
Increase Income Before Investing More
- Level up your income, max retirement accounts, and invest in index funds or real estate to build lasting wealth.
- Negotiate raises and consider side hustles to increase investable dollars quickly.
Wealth Concentration Is Systemic
- Wealth inequality is extreme: the top 1% holds nearly a third of U.S. wealth and stock market ownership is concentrated in 10% of households.
- Vivian Tu links these facts to structural advantages that perpetuate racial and gender disparities in wealth.
