As we approach the holiday season, I am reminded of Christmas gatherings and the exchange of gifts between family and friends. While we all enjoy receiving gifts, it is the joy I get from giving that is most fulfilling. It’s especially so when the gift is something that has a lasting impact for the recipient. It might sound strange, but that’s how I’ve come to view financial planning. When done effectively, it can have a positive impact on a family today, as well as transform the lives of generations to come. What a legacy!
