Q: How do we tell the kids about our family wealth?
A: First and possibly most important point: they already know. By the lifestyle you lead and the people you mix with, your children have already made assumptions about the family wealth. They will also have garnished information on this topic from friends and from public sources. That means in terms of controlling the conversation, you are already well behind, so be aware of what you can and can’t control when it comes to talking about wealth. That also means it’s never too early to be aware of the messages you are sending to kids – both implicit and explicit. by David Werdiger
