Now that we're completely debt free and now focused on trying to "win" with our money, I want to double back and be sure that my family is now on a solid, financial foundation as we move forward.
Here's some of the activities I've been involved in over the last several months to shore up our foundation:
- purchased a medium-size fireproof safe to have a safe, secure place to put all the important legal documents I would be putting together for a strong financial foundation.
- purchased will and other legal documents online; my wife and I filled these out and had them officially signed and notarized.
- purchased more disability and life insurance to protect my family if I should become injured or pass away unexpectedly.
- secured copies of my wife's and my birth certificates.
- secured copies of our marriage license.
- secured miscellaneous additional legal documents important to the family.
What I have remaining to complete in this area:
- secure my daughter's gift certificates
- purchase a portable hard drive to store important documents, files, photos, and store this in our safe.
- be sure all my paper legal documents (will, listing of assets, etc.) is completely clear and complete
- write down instructions to my wife or family members so they know exactly where to go and what to do in case of my death or both of our deaths.
- put together my personal notes, journals, and instructions to access my 2 personal blogs for "posterity" purposes to my family.
- put together any and all recordings I have ever created with my playing trumpet, conducting, and music arranging for "posterity' purposes for my family
- put together any original music and arrangements I have ever written for "posterity" purposes.
As you can see, this will probably be a continual, ongoing projects for my family!
