Strategic Wealth Partners Hosts 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom: Your Prosperity Picture

More than 70 women gathered for our 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom luncheon at Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park in November. It was an honor to have Lisa Kueng from Invesco present ‘Your Prosperity Picture,’ an activity that she and Ellen Rogin developed based on their book, Picture Your Prosperity.

“Our goal has been to present new ideas to help you become centered and confident with the direction of your lives – financial and otherwise,” SWP Principal Ashley Bebeau, CFP®, explained. This past year, the ‘Your Prosperity Picture’ exercise allowed the attendees the opportunity to visualize the direction of their lives in a very tangible way.

The activity began with the attendees creating their vision by viewing a series of pictures and placing them on a board divided into four quadrants: more money, less money, sooner in life, and later in life. This exercise allowed the group to visualize their dreams and the direction of their personal and financial lives. With the vision defined, Kueng guided the guests through steps to help bring each picture into reality.

We are thankful to everyone who attended the event. We hope that it was an informative and insightful beginning to ‘Your Prosperity Picture.’

For clarity, an estate tax is levied and paid by the estate of the deceased, while an inheritance tax is paid by the heirs receiving the inherited property (with spouses generally exempt).

Nurturing Wealth Across Generations: A Guide to Multi-Generational Wealth Planning
Often referred to as the “Great Wealth Transfer,” studies show that roughly $84 trillion in assets amassed by baby boomers will change hands over the next 20 years. When examined more closely, a third of today’s high-net-worth individuals inherited their wealth.  According to the UBS Billionaire Ambitions Report, in 2023, more new billionaires were created by inherited wealth rather than entrepreneurship. This trend looks to continue in the years to come for many wealthy families (not just billionaires).
