[quote=Anonymous]A couple more that I haven't seen mentioned: Stable family structures: We've accumulated wealth over a couple of generations by having everyone stay married. Luckily, there haven't been any second marriages after a partner dies -- so money/business ownership has been passed down fairly seamlessly. Unfortunately, perhaps, the single earner and SAH partner has worked really well both for us and others in our family. For instance, DH's dad was CEO of a large company and DH's mom stayed a home. She is extraordinarily smart and managed everything expertly at home including all of their finances. (But, of course, that also means she didn't get to build her own career.) On a more micro level, we were taught about good money management as kids and will do the same for our kids. Insurance, stocks, how to buy a house, what kind of income (roughly) it takes to sustain our lifestyle. We're pretty transparent with all of those things. [/quote]
