A practical look at putting Your life Together written by the founder of the internationally celebrated website Get Your Shit Together and informed by the author\'s personal experience after her husband was killed in a biking accident.
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..
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.
Reynolds learned the hard way that hoping for the best is not a plan, but you don\'t have to.
We procrastinate or outright avoid having these difficult yet critical conversations.
We\'re too busy, in denial, overwhelmed, don\'t know where to start.
As it turns out, most of us don\'t either.
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.
In the aftermath of her husband\'s sudden death, Reynolds quickly realized that she was left bewildered and underprepared for What happens next.
On July 17, 2009, Chanel Reynolds\'s husband, Jos , was sideswiped by a van while cycling near their home in Seattle.
Part memoir, part hard-working how-to guidebook, What Matters Most inspires readers to get their \'affairs in order\' before the unthinkable (or inevitable) happens.
