What Matters Most

The Get Your Sh*t Together Guide to Wills, Money, Insurance, and Life's "What-ifs"

About this book

Part-memoir, part-guidebook, this is a practical look at getting your affairs in order before the unthinkable (or inevitable) occurs.
On July 17, 2009, Chanel Reynolds's husband, José, was struck by a van, then 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.
The truth is, most of us don't.
Drawn rom firsthand experience, expert advice, and the unparalleled resources of her celebrated website, Get Your Shit Together, this honest, no-nonsense guide provides step-by-step practical advice to help you with:
  • Checklists: What to do before, during, and after a crisis
  • Legal documents: Create your will, living will, and power of attorney
  • Covering your ass: Get enough of the right life insurance
  • Get your money sorted: Emergency funds, savings, and budgets
  • Make a "what-if" list: Have a watertight emergency plan
  • Digital details: Track your online accounts and passwords
