On: Get Your Shit Together

[rcarrigan87]

It's a morbid subject, but working in home health care I'm shocked by how many people are totally unprepared when it comes to end of life planning.

And it's not just relatively young people or unexpected deaths. Many senior citizens with decent sized estates are totally unprepared or just assume their family will figure it out.

You pass on a lot of additional stress and hardship to your loved ones by not being prepared.

I love the site title btw.

There was a great Planet Money episode on this topic: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/03/05/286126451/livin...

True. I had a relative pass a few years back from cancer. It wasn't sudden at all.

The relative worked in the financial services industry and had provided me advice about estate planning.

When it came to the estate things were not prepared at all. If fact it was a bit of a mess.

I guess it's the case of builders living in unfinished houses and that.
