Part memoir, part hard-working\nhow-to guidebook, What Matters Most inspires readers to get their ‘affairs in order’\nbefore the unthinkable (or inevitable) happens.\n\n\nOn July 17, 2009, Chanel\nReynolds’s husband, José, was sideswiped by a van while cycling near their home\nin Seattle. In the aftermath of her husband’s sudden death, Reynolds quickly\nrealized that she was left bewildered and underprepared for what happens next.\nWhat was the password to his phone? Did they sign their wills? How much\ninsurance did they have? Could she afford the house? And what the hell was\nprobate court anyway? Simply put, when life went sideways she didn’t have her\nshit together.\nAs it turns out, most of us\ndon’t either. We’re too busy, in denial, overwhelmed, don’t know where to\nstart. We procrastinate or outright avoid having these difficult yet critical\nconversations.\nReynolds learned the hard way\nthat hoping for the best is not a plan, but you don’t have to. Drawing on her\nfirst-hand experience, expert advice, and the unparalleled resources she’s\ncompiled from her popular website and checklists, Reynolds lends her,\nfriendly, human voice to help readers navigate and avoid much of confusion,\noverwhelm, and uncertainty when ‘something happens’ and learn how to:\n• Create a will, living will,\nand power of attorney documents\n\n• Update (or finally get) the\nright life insurance policy\n\n• Start or grow an emergency\nfund and prioritize your spending\n\n• Make a watertight emergency\nand ‘What-If’ plan\n\n• Keep secure, up-to-date\nrecords of personal information\nAuthoritative yet intimate,\ngrounded but irreverent, Reynolds’s voice carries readers through a tough\nsubject with candor and compassion. Weaving personal story with hard-won\nwisdom, What Matters Most is the approachable, no-nonsense handbook we\nall need to living a life free of worry and “what ifs.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062689436\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0062689436.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Reynolds, Chanel\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Crisp copy with a sturdy binding and light shelf wear.
