We may not always feel wealthy. Still, look around: Are you one of many dual-income couples with earnings well into the six-figure category? One of millions of Americans in line for (or already in receipt of) a substantial inheritance? One of the many baby boomers roaring into peak earning years and naming their own wage in the marketplace? Or one of that growing cadre of young, well-educated professionals cutting a wide and aggressive swath across the economy?

For many Americans, these are times of growing prosperity...of enough discretionary income for three-a-year vacations, a computer in every bedroom and a lifestyle undreamed of even 25 years ago. The real challenge: How to turn today's prosperity into lasting financial security. We live in prosperous times, but we also live in precarious times. Ultimately, it is what you do with your assets that determines their long-term staying power...and your long-term lifestyle.
