7 days to make your family richer

(in all the ways that matter)

— in just 5 minutes a day

A simple, guided practice to reconnect your family,

preserve what really matters, and create the kind of legacy that money alone can’t carry.

Why this matters so much

At first glance, the facts below might seem unrelated. They're not.

Together, they explain why so many loving, well-intentioned families struggle to pass on what actually matters.

**1) Stories, values & life lessons matter more than money**

When families think about legacy, money usually isn’t the thing that matters most.

Decades of research show that values, personal history, and life lessons consistently rank higher in value than financial inheritance.

The Allianz American Legacies Pulse Survey found that: 86% of Baby Boomers said that family stories, values, and life lessons were the most important part of what we leave behind, more important than money or possessions.

This matches what many of us already feel to be true.

There is 'gold' inside each and every one of us and it needs to be shared.

2) Most people want to capture

their story, but never do

A lot of people carry a quiet hope like this:

“One day, I’ll write it all down.”
“One day, I’ll tell them what really mattered.”

Across creativity and behaviour research, the same pattern shows up again and again:

The desire to preserve personal stories far outweighs the action.

Many people say they want to write a book, record their memories, or pass on their wisdom -
yet most never begin.

Life just feels too busy… and there’s never a simple, supported way to start.

3) Connection and trust are linked to longer, healthier lives

Research into longevity is very clear on one thing:

Human connection matters. A lot.

Studies of the Blue Zones (places where people live longer, healthier lives) show that:

strong relationships

regular social connection

and a sense of belonging

are core contributors to wellbeing and longevity.

So connection isn’t just “nice to have.”

It’s foundational to a life well lived.

4) But, many families feel

deep connection is hard or impossible

Many families want connection but struggle with where to begin, especially when loved ones live far apart, are in different time zones, or haven’t talked about deeper topics for years.

Add to that the reality of modern life:

Shared mealtimes are down. Screen-time is up.

Everyone is in their own lane. The different generations can feel like they speak different languages.

And life just seems to be speeding up all the time.

So connection becomes something we want,
but don’t quite know how to make happen.

5) 90% of Wealth Transfers Fail

by the Third Generation

Across wealth and estate planning research, a clear pattern has emerged:

Around 70% of wealth is lost by the second generation. 90% is lost by the third

Not because families failed to plan.
Not because they lacked love.

But because connection, context, and shared understanding weren’t passed on alongside the paperwork.

The wealthiest intergenerational families have always understood that legacy only lasts when we connect the dots.

The most enduring intergenerational families don’t rely on documents alone.

Alongside robust estate planning, they’ve always practiced:

Regular family meetings

Shared values and decision-making

Storytelling across generations

Clear agreements about purpose, responsibility, and contribution.

This is called family governance.

It’s the quiet practice behind the world’s most lasting family legacies.

In ultra-high-net-worth families, this happens inside Family Offices -
structures designed to support not just money,
but relationships, education, communication, and continuity.

That’s why these families don’t fall into the 90% failure rate.

They don’t just pass on wealth.

They pass on context, culture, and cohesion.

For most families, this never happens

Because outside of Family Offices, there’s rarely:

a simple structure, a shared rhythm

or a practical way to make this part of everyday life.

So legacy planning becomes something that happens once.

And family connection becomes something we hope will somehow take care of itself.

(Which… rarely works.)

That's why ContinUnity® exists

No boardrooms. No big, awkward meetings. No pressure to get it “right”.

A shared place for stories, values, and conversations to live, grow and be passed on properly.
