The Family Values Tree
Time and again, at Stonehouse, we see that when we sit down with one family to highlight the benefits of coming together to look at the financial challenges across generations, everyone gains.
Intergenerational planning often means families experience tax efficiencies, pressure on the middle generation eases, and younger generations can get on their feet sooner and reach financial independence.
Invested in Happiness
Money is always a tricky subject to bring up with family, but it’s those awkward conversations that can change someone’s life. Uncomfortable but worth it!
To reach milestones like home ownership for an adult child, managing debt, gaining the confidence to choose that retirement date, or the peace of mind that you have the financial protection if ill health strikes and you can’t work – all these moments are life changing.
Darren explains: “A lot of family financial success doesn’t start with a single big moment. They start with a greater understanding of what’s possible. It’s those clever aspects of financial planning, such as investing rather than only saving, starting a pension early plus other effective habits that can create those financial success stories.”
The Stonehouse Family Tree
Every generation in a family has slightly different priorities, pressures and opportunities. By looking at the wider family picture together, it can often create stronger outcomes for everyone. We see time again how this approach helps reduce financial pressure across generations, and allow families to support one another in a more thoughtful and tax-efficient way.
Our role is to help families connect the dots between today’s decisions and tomorrow’s opportunities.
