What if the greatest financial gift you leave your family isn't an inheritance, but a conversation? In this special Grandparents Day episode of The Retirement Project, Pat Schultz explores the financial discussions every parent and grandparent should be having with the next generation. From gifting with “warm hands” versus “cold hands” to setting expectations around inheritance, independence, long-term care, and family values, Pat explains why communication is often more important than the dollars themselves. He also discusses helping children without becoming the family bank, planning for future healthcare needs, and why proactive estate and legacy conversations can prevent confusion and conflict later. Sometimes the most meaningful legacy isn't money, it's clarity and preparation.
