In this episode of Mitten Money, hosts Will and Kevin use Michigan’s never-ending pothole problem as a metaphor for generational wealth, showing how what is ignored today can become costly later. They explain that generational wealth is not just for the ultra-wealthy, and can range from simple estate planning to larger trusts designed to support families or communities over time.

Through real-life examples, they highlight how poor planning and lack of communication can quickly erode wealth, while clear intentions, strong financial guidance, and family transparency help it last for generations.
