In the early 2000s and 2010s, I made multiple attempts to go vegan and stay that way. But lack of certain resources, lack of cooking skills, and other things kept me from really sticking it out. And while I love animals and don’t want them to suffer, I just couldn’t stick with it.

There is no exact figure to determine how much one individual or family needs to consider its wealth generational.
Generational wealth is wealth that is passed on from one generation to another. It used to be what they called “old money” or “family money,” meaning the wealth is deep.
