Wealth Generation | FMG Wealth Strategies

This month I thought we’d look at the topic of Wealth Generation. This topic is essential and it was a hot topic of discussion over dinner with our kids recently. They are in their 20’s and to say that they are slightly concerned about their future and that of their future children is to say at the very least – they are becoming more and more concerned as time progresses.

There are 2 aspects to wealth generation

How you will build enough wealth for your life-time and enjoy your later years – (reality being it is becoming even more uncertain)
.
But what about our kids??
.
How will you build enough wealth for your life-time to enjoy and in which format are you going to be helping and educating your kids about their future?

Earlier this year we wrote a blog about Wealth and our Longevity which highlighted that we need to start thinking and building wealth differently.

So, if you haven’t read it please do that, especially if you want to understand how quickly things are moving in relation to wealth building, a longer life reality and the possibility of not having enough money to see out our lifetime (if you don’t plan well for your retirement).

.🗝 These are the key questions that we touched on and now 6 months later these and wealth generation is even more relevant and critical now.

Rethinking Wealth Building for a Longer Future

Key Questions to Consider:

How can you grow your wealth to support a longer life?
What new investment strategies should you adopt for financial longevity?
What industries and opportunities will thrive in the future?
How can younger generations financially prepare for longer lives? Financial planning for longevity is no longer optional—it’s a necessity.

🧩 Last year, (to be honest, the previous year I researched and dabbled out of curiosity..) but early last year I really started thinking and diligently researching as to how we were personally going to get ahead of the financial tsunami that seemed to be not only threating our retirement reality but what it meant for our kids and next generations.

And that has been the hot topic of discussion with not only ourselves but also with our kids as they will wear the brunt of government policies and future debt long after we are gone – & how can they survive that and live well?

🤔 This may seem dramatic but it is in fact a fast approaching reality and if you (and our children) don’t plan for it, life may (will) become an even bigger struggle that you are currently thinking. As time speeds up so does everything!

Remember the compound effect – that also applies here and you cannot escape that universal law. That is why now is the time to act, plan and action your wealth plan to future proof you and your future wealth generation. The ‘two’ anologies of wealth generation.

Statistics show that we only needed a few years to save for a deposit for property, whereas now our future generations will possibly not even be able to do that on their own – it will take a couple of decades (or more) for a deposit to be saved!.

Do you see where I’m going with this…

So, this has become my lazer focus over the last 3-4 years to not only safe-guard our own lives and our children’s and future generations but that of our clients – you. You are the beneficiary of my hundreds of hours of studies and accreditations in the future of finacial planning and future wealth building (and wealth protection) – wealth generation.

This lazer focus has become a passion (as if wealth and finacial strategies weren’t before) but this has taken my focus to a whole other level – not only for my /our own and childrens benefit but for yours as well.

Wealth Building for the future is changing and if you and your children don’t get on board and have your plan in place soon it will become more and more difficult, as I am sure you are already starting to sense. 😳

Wealth generation with an emergency fund

Now, getting to the level of wealth required to make work optional is no cakewalk. The first step, however, is at least simple to understand: you need to build a solid emergency fund.

Thanks to a recent Vanguard survey of 12,400 investors, they found that possessing an emergency fund is the strongest predictor of a person’s financial and physical wellbeing.

This is so for a few reasons. A decent emergency fund means:

You can pursue more aggressive investments because you have a safety net. (if you are risk tolerant – assessed as part of our financial planning strategy framework).
Meaning you have an understanding of what your expenses are, and the peace of mind of knowing that you can cover an emergency if it occurs..
. And you have time is on your side (we all need time on our side) 🤭

But how big should your emergency fund be?

.
💰 That is our job and there are a few ways to calculate this based on your now and future personal, business / career and lifestyle goals..
.

So lastly, on the topic of wealth generation for this conversation right now, the question is ‘What are you doing?’ I genuinely hope the answer is not; “Oh my god, I don’t know’.”

You need to have a clear idea as to how, how much and how will you spend (and create wealth for yourself and future generations) with the rest of your time that you have left?
