Helping Your Kids Without Ruining Your Life (Or Theirs)
18 Jun 2024
How wealthy families help their children financially is a complex topic, as well as a deeply personal one. More families than ever are working through it.
In 2020 Koda Capital Adviser & Partner James Hawthorne published a paper titled ‘Helping your kids without ruining your life (or theirs)’. As the wealth in our communities grows, there is extraordinary potential for opportunity but also conflict between the generations.
Adjusted for inflation, there are more than three times as many households with a net worth in excess of $5m compared to 15 years ago. Additionally, families are smaller, meaning individual children are ending up with larger proportions of family wealth.
‘Helping your kids without ruining your life (or theirs): ten issues to consider when passing wealth to the next generation’ is a report that seeks to shed light on a topic that is rarely discussed in the open.
