MONEY. It’s still the elephant in every family’s living room. Planning for a family’s future often prompts a total breakdown in communication, causing lasting damage. Statistics show most families fail to successfully transfer assets from one generation to the next, resulting in not only a loss of assets but a loss of family harmony. Radio personality and financial advisor Lori Sackler introduces the concept of “Money Talks”, mindful conversations that help families communicate dispassionately about money matters through all of life’s transitions — changes in financial circumstances, remarriage and merging families, retirement, preparing heirs, and transferring wealth. Sackler is a certified investment management analyst, a certified financial planner and the creator and former host of the radio show “The M Word” on WOR in New York City.
