Description:
What if the most loving thing you could do for your family had nothing to do with money -and everything to do with preparation?
In this powerful episode of Real Money, Real Life™, Linda Grizely sits down with Cyndy Wulfsberg, to talk about end-of-life organization, legacy clarity, and the emotional peace that comes from planning ahead.
Cyndy shares how creating her "Before I Die" workbook helps families document essential information, communicate final wishes, and spare loved ones from confusion, conflict, and costly mistakes. From wills and passwords to personal messages, this episode reminds us that preparation is the greatest gift we can leave behind.
You'll learn:
• Why avoiding the topic of death creates chaos for your family
• How to make estate and healthcare planning less overwhelming
• What to include in a simple legacy binder -and why it matters now, not later
If you've ever thought, "I'll get to it someday," this conversation will inspire you to take action and give your loved ones the peace of mind they deserve.
Guest Bio:
Cyndy Wulfsberg is the author of a best-selling book, Ghost or Guardian: A Guidebook for the Pre-Dead. Do these things before you die so your heirs won't hate you later. It is a humorous look at cleaning up the mess you are making in your life before you leave it to people you claimed to love. The book was written while closing the estates of her four family members who left this world in varying degrees of preparedness, and she hopes her approach to the subject is a kick in the pants to get people making plans instead of feeling bad that they haven't.
