  The wealth-creation edge of the family office has become obvious to those not at the billionaire point. High-net individuals with "only hundreds of millions" are grabbing onto this advantage. So, no newsflash, the  amount of funds in family offices  has grown 67% in five years to $5.5 trillion. By 2030, that could reach $9 trillion." Also, no surprise, a growth-driven elite law firm such as  Paul, Weiss  has been in this space with a specialized practice for years. Essentially, as  Investopedia  defines it, the "family office's is:  " ... a  private wealth management advisory company that serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals ... [They] offer  a wider range of financial services than most wealth management shops. In addition to investment planning and management, many ... manage their clients' budgets, insurance, charitable giving, wealth transfer planning, tax services, and more." The "more," as  The Wall Street Journal  p...

Maybe it'll be youth again who re-shapes the world. Not the establishment big money.  In our lifetimes we Boomers could be bearing witness to another play-out of a counterculture. During the late 1960s and early 1970s in America the movement was influential. It reshaped politics, helped end a war, allowed experimentation with socialism, told females we were all beautiful no matter the body style and had university leaders surrendering some of their power dating back to 1636 with the founding of Harvard. Had there not been the severe mid-1970s recession the impacts might have been more extensive - and sustainable.  Bloomberg captures the wonderful current unrest among Gen Zers around the world and here at home.  It's producing results. There's the toppling of governments ranging from Nepal to Bulgaria and voting for socialism in New York City.  The Donald Trump phenomenon is peaking. All the President's Men and Women could wind up producing mea culpa memoirs explainin...

It's 8:15 PM ET. Futures are up a little.   The buzz doesn't include any wildness when the market reopens Friday. On Reddit and other professional anonymous networks those gens after us Boomers have lots to complain about. And fear. We don't have much (with the exception of health problems), do we? That is, if we socked something away along the way. If we had been smart and relocated from HCOL (high cost of living) areas to LCOL (low cost of living) ones we are set to hold out against longevity. The 90s are possible. Success is a mental game.

  Intern.  Often that role in traditional sectors such as public relations, fashion and retail means low status, grunt work and even maybe no compensation. And now that the Epstein Files put Bill Clinton back on the hot seat, there can be recycled those old Intern Jokes. But now the new field of AI is changing so much of that. Players ranging from OpenAI to Meta are creating powerful branding, real work and nosebleed compensation for interns. They go by titles such as "resident," "researcher" and "fellow." For example, at OpenAI in the six-month program, residents, as they are called there, have it made. The opportunity: " ... mentorship, contribute to ongoing research, and may be considered for full-time roles after the program ...  $18,300 a month. At Meta, there are several kinds of internships running 12 to 24 weeks, paying monthly from $7,650 to $12,000. The amount depends on tasks and location.  Here is how to apply at Meta. In a world of knowl...

"Writers are a dime a dozen." If those in content-creation, even the marketing communications side , haven't heard that they probably know that's what those dishing out assignments are thinking. That's based on how they're treated and what they're being paid. I held on until about four years ago. Then no longer could I nurture the magical thinking of return to the good old days. Yes, at one time my particular kind of talent was in demand. We could bill a buck and a quarter a word. One year I received a bonus of $4k on a contract job.  To my amazement, I took the needed action. I exited content-creation. But there was an emotional lag. I call it "soul ache."  Executive coach Henry Cloud refers to the process as "Necessary Endings."  Probably more don't do one of those necessary endings and hang on to compete on Upwork for two-cents a word assignments because they can't envision entering that force field of so much upheaval in fee...
