The Ultimate Inheritance for Your Kids and Will AI Actually Create More Jobs?
In this episode, Wes Moss shares the real-life story of a couple who is wrestling with the common parental dilemma of whether to pay off their son's significant student debt. While the urge to help is strong, Wes breaks down the financial reality, explaining why protecting your own retirement is actually the greatest act of love and generational generosity you can give your kids. Also, Wes shifts gears to the economy, diving into the fear that AI is taking all the jobs. Drawing on a comprehensive World Economic Forum report, he offers a surprisingly optimistic outlook: while some existing jobs will be displaced, the creation of an estimated 170 million new jobs globally will result in a substantial net gain.
