Multigenerational Living is Increasing
Multigenerational living is on the increase over the last few decades. in 1980, only 12% of American adults lived in a multigenerational home. By the start of the 2020s, that percentage has more than doubled, to 26%. Why the rise? There are practical reasons for multigenerational housing. Most people choose to live together for financial reasons and caregiving at first. For those working adults feeling the pressures of balancing career with caregiving, the high cost of housing and difficulty of arranging for convenient and high-quality care — for children or aging parents — are contributing factors. Eventually, they find that there are mental and emotional benefits to multigenerational living as well.

Investment Collectibles
Investment collectibles are an excellent way to diversify your financial portfolio and have some fun too! There are stocks, there are bonds … and then there are alternative investments, Within the umbrella of alternative investments, some of the most exotic are collectibles. A collectible can be any physical object that people can and do collect: from fine china to bottles of wine, rare manuscripts to vintage cars — and everything in between. Collectors gather these “tangible assets” because they love them. Investors hang onto them in hopes that they’ll increase in value over time.
