Abstract: In the United States, the flow of wealth and education passed through generations has been studied extensively. However, the relation between parent education and descendant financial well being has not been examined. This presentation will use and analyze the data from the Financial Well-Being Survey to determine if such a relation exists and what other factors may play a role in this association.
