What Matters Most: The Get Your Shit Together Guide to Wills, Money, Insurance, and Life's "What-ifs"
Autor Chanel Reynoldsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2021
On July 17, 2009, Chanel Reynolds’s husband, José, was sideswiped by a van while cycling near their home in Seattle. In the aftermath of her husband’s sudden death, Reynolds quickly realized that she was left bewildered and underprepared for what happens next. What was the password to his phone? Did they sign their wills? How much insurance did they have? Could she afford the house? And what the hell was probate court anyway? Simply put, when life went sideways she didn’t have her shit together.
As it turns out, most of us don’t either. We’re too busy, in denial, overwhelmed, don’t know where to start. We procrastinate or outright avoid having these difficult yet critical conversations.
Reynolds learned the hard way that hoping for the best is not a plan, but you don’t have to. Drawing on her first-hand experience, expert advice, and the unparalleled resources she’s compiled from her popular website and checklists, Reynolds lends her, friendly, human voice to help readers navigate and avoid much of confusion, overwhelm, and uncertainty when ‘something happens’ and learn how to:
• Create a will, living will, and power of attorney documents
• Update (or finally get) the right life insurance policy
• Start or grow an emergency fund and prioritize your spending
• Make a watertight emergency and ‘What-If’ plan
• Keep secure, up-to-date records of personal information
Authoritative yet intimate, grounded but irreverent, Reynolds’s voice carries readers through a tough subject with candor and compassion. Weaving personal story with hard-won wisdom, What Matters Most is the approachable, no-nonsense handbook we all need to living a life free of worry and “what ifs.”

Trust me. You need this book.
On July 17, 2009, Chanel Reynolds’s husband, José, was struck by a van while cycling near their home in Seattle and died one week later. Just hours after the accident, Chanel realized that she was completely unprepared for what came next: What was the password to his phone? Were their wills legally binding? How much insurance did they have? Could she afford the house? And what the hell was probate anyway? Simply put, she didn’t have her shit together.
As it turns out, neither do most of us. We’re too busy and too overwhelmed, or we don’t know where to start. But here’s the thing: you can’t half-ass the important stuff, and hoping for the best is not a plan. Chanel learned that lesson the hard way—so you don’t have to.
Drawing on her firsthand experience; expert advice; and the unparalleled resources of her celebrated website, Get Your Shit Together, Chanel offers an honest, no-nonsense guide that provides step-by-step practical advice to make getting your shit together easier than signing up a kid for summer camp. In What Matters Most, you’ll learn how to
Prioritize: triage urgent items and create an it-can-wait or screw-it list.
Plan forward: create a will and a living will.
Cover your ass: update your (or finally get the right) life insurance policy.
Get your money sorted: start or grow an emergency fund and savings.
Make a “what-if” list: have a watertight emergency plan.
Round up details: track essential information, accounts, and passwords.
Grounded and irreverent, Chanel’s no-BS voice guides you through planning for life’s toughest moments with authority, candor, intimacy, and humor. What Matters Most will help you get the important shit done to avoid unnecessary suffering and confusion before and after disaster strikes or life suddenly goes sideways.

Recenzii
“How strange to have been so conscious about money in life but lax about where it all goes when I die. That stopped the day I read Chanel’s book. How free I feel to have these tasks done.” — Vicki Robin, New York Times bestselling author of Your Money or Your Life
