Dying without the proper documents in place can cost your loved ones a ton of money! The latest research shows that probate can easily take a 3% to 7% bite out of your estate.
Who is How to Money? Joel and Matt host the show and love talking about money (while drinking delicious beer) so they created a podcast incorporating both! They really know their stuff and were a treat to talk to. And, hundreds of episodes and millions of downloads later they are still energized by the mission of reaching people with practical money-saving advice.
About the Episode: ‘Preparing for the Unthinkable with Chanel Reynolds’ – Episode 740 (listen here!)
From HTM: “…this is a topic that’s been on our minds for months since episode 704, when we had our wives on the podcast. We realized that the ladies might have a general idea of what to do if one of us died, but for the most part they would be rudderless since both of us handle the bulk of our finances in both of our families. That’s why we’re pumped to talk with Chanel Reynolds who has been on a mission for the past decade, to help folks do what she wished she’d done, before life takes a detour. Chanel founded GetYourShitTogether and she authored the book “What Matters Most”, both dedicated to help folks to prepare to face the inevitable reality of death.
We discuss digital hygiene and staying organized with your accounts and passwords, key estate planning documents, using online software vs hiring an attorney, beneficiaries and transfer on death deeds, how to effectively approach conversations with family, funeral preparations, and much more!”
