Love and Money:

Love and money may seem like an unusual pairing, but for many of us, they’re deeply connected—not in a cringy “I love money” kind of way, but in how we use it to care for those who matter most. I define love as desiring what is best for the beloved. With that in mind, getting your financial house in order and creating a solid financial plan can be one of the most loving things you ever do. While Hallmark probably won’t be making a movie about financial planning anytime soon, it’s still one of the most selfless acts you can take for your family and future.

A financial love letter to your spouse or a close family member, with instructions for what to do in the event of your death is one of the most truly loving things you can do. Think things like who to contact and how, passwords, a net worth statement, and more. In this article, Fritz Gilbert, one of my favorite financial bloggers, details down to the paragraph, his own letter to his wife, AND provides a free template if you'd like to create your own. I highly recommend reading this article and implementing this strategy (to some degree) in your own life.
