Dear Financial Feminists, 

Is there anything better than a long, sunny, summer day? We don’t think so! Growing up, we all looked forward to opening of pools, beach trips and summer camps. As we dive into our first open travel summer in almost two years, it is fun to see how many incredible adventures are being planned by travel agents all over the world.

Summer days are marked with new opportunities to connect with family and friends over patio dinners, outdoor concerts, road trips, bike rides and casual conversations. One thing that has been top of mind around our tables has been the increased attention on the Great Wealth Transfer. Did you know that $30 trillion in wealth is expected to transfer from baby boomers to younger generations – and women are expected to be the largest beneficiaries? The number one thing parents can do to help prepare their children and beneficiaries for an inheritance is to talk about it – be transparent about what they have and what their intentions are.

If you have an estate that you will be passing along, don’t forget these four key considerations and to review your estate plan every five years regardless. If you are on the other side of the equation and experiencing a sudden wealth event, here are some resources on navigating an inheritance. Losing a parent is never easy, but this checklist can help.

Need your daily dose of inspiration? Don’t miss our Financial Feminist Spotlight on Alex Morgan and all those star female athletes that have fought tirelessly for more financial recognition and control. After being undervalued as athletes their whole lives, they are fighting back and winning! And of course, click on for a few of our favorite summer shopping pleasures – from the not-your-mother’s dish rack to the best 3-way charging station to a fashionable smart watch band (finally!) – enjoy!
