The wealth gap no one talks about - Generations historian, Dr Eliza Filby

The wealth transfer from baby boomers to their children is set to be the largest in history.

She has written a book called Inheritocracy: It’s Time to Talk About the Bank of Mum and Dad. She travelled around the UK to explore who wins, who loses, and what we should be doing about it. 🤝 Want help from a financial advisor planning your future?
