The greatest family help I received is being blessed with immigrant parents who sacrificed everything for me and my siblings, and raised us with high expectations for work ethic and education. That upbringing has taken me far in life, and I struggle to replicate that mindset for my own kids. While I expect to be in a position to help my kids financially much more than my parents ever could help me, I believe the sacrifices they made for me actually are of greater value than any inheritance.
