If you love someone

This past fall, I lost someone very near and dear to my heart, my beloved grandpa. Even as a 30-year-old, this loss was extremely hard for me and my family emotionally. But the positive side of it was my grandparents had previously set a plan and were organized in their finances, easing the burden of their children and grandchildren during this time. Dave Ramsey says “Having a plan in place is one of the best ways to say “I Love You” to your family,” and that is one of the legacies my grandpa left. It motivated me to get all my financial documents in order and leave the same legacy to my family. 
So, what do we need to do?

I started creating my own financial binder using what USU Extension has shared in the past right after my grandpa’s funeral- it is that important to me! I’m doing this to honor my grandpa’s legacy and if you love someone, how will you honor them and why is it important to you?
 If that is not enough of a reason, here are some other things to ask your self-
  • What can we learn from recent flood and hurricane disasters?
  • What do you need to know and have ready if you are forced to leave your home quickly during a disaster and emergency?
  • What information would your family need to have access to in case of your death or incapacitation?
  • What paperwork do you need to get a mortgage or do your taxes?
Are you ready yet? Have you found the reason you need to get a financial binder started? If you love someone, is this something you can do for them or even for yourself? Here at Utah Money Moms, join in with me as I go through creating my financial binder! Over the next few months follow along as I post:
  • Starting a Financial Binder
  • What goes in a Financial Binder?
  • Where to store Important Documents?
  • And much more!
