Read previewWhen Southwest Airlines announced Thursday it was dropping its unique plane seating system, I was among the (apparently small) group of people who reacted with disappointment. In announcing the policy change, Southwest said their research showed 80% of customers preferred an assigned seating system, while 86% of new customers did. AdvertisementIt also means navigating the chaos that can be found at essentially every other airline's gate besides Southwest. Some families also love Southwest's open seating policy for this reason. But without the open seating, the airline is losing part of what sets it apart — even if that means gaining new customers.

So, how do you know if you're in a position to be able to start passing down your wealth? But even average baby boomers, who have a net worth of around $1 million, are getting in on early wealth transfers. Griffith said the first thing someone should do before transferring wealth is to look at their retirement resources and do something she calls a "stress test." That includes considering what the portfolio might look like when the markets are most volatile and declining. Griffith said a wealth advisor can help complete a stress test using specific software that looks at various simulations of what could happen to a person's finances.

Read previewA fishing boat about a mile off the coast of New Hampshire capsized on Tuesday after a humpback whale came out of the water and smashed into it, according to video of the incident. "So no attack by the humpback whale, just an unfortunate accident for both the whale and fisherman," he said, adding the whale may not have even realized the boat was there. Smith, who studies humpback whale behavior, said lunging for fish is a very common behavior for the species. AdvertisementAs for the humpback in the video, the whale may have been injured when it crashed into the boat. Vessel collisions remain a threat to humpback whales, though typically, strikes by larger ships pose the greatest risk.

"It is a luxury, absolutely," Brooke Kimbrough, cofounder and CEO of Roots Surrogacy, told BI. All the surrogacy agencies BI spoke with said it's essentially never the case that someone opts for surrogacy simply for vanity reasons. Perhaps the primary drawback to pursuing concurrent surrogacy (that is, besides the high price tag) is the logistics of it. Jarret Zafran, founder and executive director at Brownstone Surrogacy, told BI that it's not necessarily only the ultrawealthy who pursue concurrent surrogacy. But he's still not totally sure why they chose to do concurrent journeys rather than space the children out a bit more.

Recently, the client's parents told him they were going to up that amount — to $60,000 a year for the next 10 years — but that would be it. Boomers waiting to pass down their wealth until their kids are much older has partially contributed to the rise in geriatric millionaires, BI previously reported. Related storiesGideon Drucker, president and financial planner at Drucker Wealth, said he is also seeing more older people proactively passing down their wealth. He tends to work with clients in their 30s and 40s, while his dad, who leads their senior division, works with those clients' parents, figuratively and, in some cases, literally. One thing Drucker cautions against is giving your kids money in a way that might up their standard of living to a level they can't actually sustain.
