That’s my goal - to ensure I hand my son a place to live (or enough assets to buy a place) to call his own. My folks are very loving yet they never factored this into their plans, despite getting half a mill inheritance and owning 54 acres. Which we will not inherit as they sold it due to financial trouble later on. I’m just curious, since having a child I see this as my top priority. What about you? #freedom #legacy #family #goals #priority #assets
I just want my child to be a truth seeker. Everything is should fall into place as long as they stack sats and stay humble on the process.
In East Africa, the concept of providing land or a home for one’s children is deeply rooted in cultural values and family traditions. Many parents here strive to pass down land, particularly because land ownership represents stability, wealth, and social standing. For many families, land is seen as both a source of livelihood and a legacy—a way to secure the next generation's future.
This is a high priority for me also. I’ve been stacking sats for my kids every month since they were born, with pretty high confidence that it’s the best savings tech that has ever existed. We’re at such a fortunate time in history where a little savings every month for 20 years will set them up for a secure future with a roof over their heads at least. I would like to see them financially secure long before I die. There are many reasons for this, but I believe the chances of them marrying and having kids much earlier in life are higher if financially secure. This benefits them, and my wife & I (with grandkids hopefully).
