It’s not about money only per se.
It’s truly about creating a love gift that keeps on growing and gifting for years, decades and even centuries, long after me and my wife’s demise.
The goal for me, is to not waste the hard works, efforts and energy that we had spent to build income, savings and fortunes, which can just disappear if
- we hand over as-is to the next generation. Maybe it wont even last that generation (too many examples today; and to make matters worse, the next generation who come to expect large handouts may not become productive or industrious anymore)
- we may get scammed by ever-smarter scammers as we grow older and more vulnerable (too many examples today)
That’s just plain wasteful, and I cannot assume that that wouldnt happen to me or my kids, so a trust fund fixes that problem for me, as long as it’s done and planned right.
I love, hope and wish for the recipients of the trust fund, be it the churches and our direct lineages, to have better support, opportunities and quality of life because of the trust fund that we build ahead of time.
Maybe it’d allow them to work on deep work, to solve large and small problems of the world.
Maybe it’d allow them to have children, with less financial stress.
Maybe it’d allow them to live a life that they want.
Maybe it’d allow them to work a simpler job with less stress.
Whatever it is, I write and do this in love, hope and faith.
