Passing the Investment Baton: How to Teach Your Kids to Invest Early and Create Generational Wealth

Written by KRI Partners | Feb 14, 2023 3:31:09 AM

Have you ever thought about how to pass down your wealth to future generations, beyond just material possessions and monetary gifts? What if you could create a legacy that would last for generations to come — one that teaches the importance of financial literacy and smart investing?

But the REAL question is… where do you even start?

At KRI Partners, we understand the importance of creating a legacy that goes beyond just handing down money. That's why we're here to help you teach your children the value of smart investing and the power of creating generational wealth. (And we promise, it's a lot more fun and engaging than you might think!)

Now, you may be thinking:

"But I don't have any experience in real estate investing, how can I teach my kids?"

Don't worry — we’ve got you covered. I recently was a guest on Corwyn J. Melette’s “EXIT Strategies Radio Show” where we discussed this exact topic, and today we’ll be going over some key points. 

So without further ado, let’s jump right in!

Sowing the Seeds of Financial Literacy

Just like planting a seed and nurturing it to grow into a beautiful flower, you can start small by teaching your children the basics of financial literacy. This will give them a solid foundation and help them understand the importance of saving, budgeting, and investing.

For example…

You can start by giving them an allowance and helping them create a simple budget. From there, you can encourage them to save a portion of their allowance and invest in a simple savings account or a low-risk investment option like a bond.

Once they understand the basics, you can start to introduce (somewhat) more complex financial concepts and investments, like real estate.

Getting Your Kids Involved in Real Estate Investing

In the early stages, it’s important to start small and gradually introduce your children to real estate investing.

You can start by taking them to open houses and showing them the different properties on the market. This will give them a better understanding of the real estate market and how properties are priced.

You can also involve them in the decision-making process by asking for their opinion on which properties they think would be good investments. This not only helps them learn, but also gives them a sense of ownership and involvement in the investment process.

As they get older and gain more experience, you can start to involve them in more complex aspects of real estate investing, like property management and negotiations.

But most importantly… make sure to involve them in the financial side of things! 

Teach them how to analyze the potential return on investment and calculate the risks and rewards associated with each property. This will help them understand the importance of being a smart and informed investor.

The Result of Creating a Legacy that Lasts for Generations

By teaching your children the importance of financial literacy and smart investing, you’re not only passing down a valuable skill, but you’re also creating a legacy that will last for generations.

Think about it this way: instead of just handing down a pile of money, you’re handing down the tools and knowledge needed to continue building and growing wealth for generations to come.

And who knows! Maybe your children may even continue to pass down these lessons to their own children, creating a chain of financial literacy and wealth creation that lasts for hundreds of years!

And at KRI Partners, we offer a unique solution that makes passive real estate investing accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level. Our team of experts does all the heavy lifting, so you can sit back and watch your wealth grow.
