01 Before You Begin

Conversation Setup

Establish the ground rules before you open the conversation. Clarity here protects the conversation later.

Remember: This is not about shame. This is about clarity, honesty, and building something stronger. The families that talk about money build wealth. The families that avoid it pass down the same patterns.

02 Section Two

Money Story Prompts

Every family has a financial history. Understanding it is the first step to changing it.

01 What did our family teach us about money growing up?
02 What financial habits helped us survive?
03 What financial habits are holding us back?
04 What money lessons do we want the next generation to inherit?
05 What financial mistakes do we need to stop repeating?
03 Section Three

Debt & Responsibility Prompts

Debt and financial obligations are where most family conversations break down. These prompts create structure for an honest discussion.

01 What debts are creating the most pressure right now?
02 Are there family financial obligations we need to be honest about?
03 Where are we helping each other in healthy ways?
04 Where are we enabling bad financial patterns?
05 What financial boundaries need to be created or reinforced?
04 Section Four

Ownership & Assets Prompts

Wealth is built through ownership. This section maps what the family currently has and what it's building toward.

01 What does our family currently own?
02 What should our family aim to own in the next 10 years?
03 Do we have property, businesses, or skills that can create more wealth?
04 What asset should we build or acquire first?
05 Who in the family has knowledge, connections, or skills that can help us build?
05 Section Five

Inheritance & Legacy Prompts

The conversations families avoid the most are the ones that determine whether wealth transfers — or disappears.

01 Do we have a will, trust, or estate plan in place?
02 What assets need to be protected and legally documented?
03 What family financial documents need to be organized?
04 What do we want our financial legacy to be?
05 What conversations have we been avoiding because they feel uncomfortable?
06 Section Six

Next Generation Prompts

The generation after us will inherit either what we built or what we avoided building. This section determines which.

01 What should the children in our family learn about money?
02 How can we teach ownership instead of just survival?
03 What skills should the next generation develop early?
04 What financial support should come with expectations and structure?
05 What family standard do we want to set?
07 Section Seven

Family Wealth Agreement

A conversation without commitment is just a discussion. These six agreements are what the conversation produces.

Why This Conversation Matters

Wealth conversations change

family trajectories.

Families do not build wealth by accident.
They build it through honesty, ownership,
planning, and repeated conversations.

The first conversation may feel uncomfortable.
The next one gets easier.
The legacy gets stronger.

Silence passes down patterns.
Conversations pass down wealth.
