For professionals and married couples, planning a financial legacy goes beyond personal gain—it’s about leaving a lasting impact. At Akins Financial Coaching, we believe this journey is rooted in biblical principles. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” This wisdom inspires us to build for future generations. Let’s explore how to create a meaningful legacy, and see how coaching can guide you toward this faithful goal.

Defining Your Legacy

A financial legacy is more than money—it’s values, generosity, and stability passed down. Professionals might aim to fund a child’s education, while couples can plan for a family trust or charitable giving. Reflect on what matters: teaching stewardship or supporting a cause. This aligns with 2 Corinthians 9:6, “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly.” Start by envisioning your legacy as a reflection of your faith. A coach can help clarify these goals, tailoring them to your career demands or shared vision.

Steps to Build Your Legacy

Begin with small, intentional steps. Save a portion of income in a dedicated account—say, $100 monthly—for future needs like a grandchild’s college fund. Couples should discuss and document wishes, ensuring alignment. Professionals can review retirement plans to include legacy benefits. These actions honor Psalm 112:2, “His offspring will be mighty in the land.” Coaching supports this by offering strategies, like estate planning basics or investment options, helping you build steadily despite busy schedules or differing priorities.

Take Action Today

Start now by setting aside $25 this month for your legacy fund. Write down one goal—perhaps supporting a charity or your kids—and revisit it monthly. This reflects 1 Corinthians 4:2’s call to be “found faithful.” A coach can enhance this with personalized guidance, assisting professionals and couples to integrate legacy planning into daily finances, turning it into a purposeful journey.

How Coaching Shapes Your Legacy

Creating a lasting legacy is easier with support. Coaching helps professionals align career success with legacy goals, while couples gain unity in planning together. A faith-centered coach integrates biblical wisdom with practical steps, ensuring your legacy reflects your values. Ready to build for the future?
