Navigating Generational Wealth: How to Give Without Enabling with Ashley Quamme

Achieving financial stability brings a new set of challenges, especially when it comes to supporting adult children. How do you help without creating dependency, and when does generosity cross the line into enabling? In this episode of Living Beyond the Numbers, Jude Boudreaux and Caleb Arringdale are joined by Ashley Quamme, LMFT, FBS®, CFT™, Owner and Founder of Beyond The Plan®, for a thoughtful conversation about the emotional and practical sides of intergenerational wealth. Ashley shares strategies for starting money conversations with adult children, the difference between fairness and equality in gifting, and how to build meaningful family traditions that transcend financial resources. They discuss: • Why validation matters when parents feel conflicted about giving to adult children • How to start money conversations before jumping into large gifts or financial support • The difference between equal and equitable giving when children have different needs • When to begin teaching kids about money, investing, and financial responsibility at age-appropriate levels • Creating family traditions and legacy through experiences, culture, and connection beyond expensive trips • And more!
