    We are in a global societal phase change and are living in a non-linear world. All of us know someone who is one year old, and most of us know individuals who are older than 100. Many generations now coexist—entwining families emotionally, intellectually, physically, and financially in unprecedented ways. Accountants have never been in the position of planning for and impacting so many generations at once.
