Susan is an award-winning Thought Leader; she provides guidance on legacy, next-generation, stewardship, governance, leadership succession, and philanthropy. Susan spoke at Opal Group’s Governance and the Single-Family Office Panel at the Virtual Family Office and Private Wealth Forum.
“Financial literacy is a lifelong education.
“With the little ones you can work on things like basic compounding of interest. However, there are so many different components of financial literacy to teach your children at every stage along the way from little ones all the way up through their adult years.
“So yes, financial compounding is an important aspect of financial literacy, but it’s really one small pebble in a giant pond of teaching them everything that there is to know about being good and responsible stewards of their family’s wealth.”
