Description

Hurricanes. Forest fires. Earthquakes. Floods. Now more than ever, uncertainty about our living environment is a fact of life. This prospect raises an important question we all-too-rarely ask in advance:

"What happens to the pieces of my financial life if an emergency hits?"

The same can be asked in the face of other crises like sudden health diagnoses.

The good news is, you can prepare. In GET READY!, financial expert and award-winning author Tony Steuer explains how you can get organized and plan for the vagaries of life. Trained as a first responder for wilderness outings, Tony takes the first aid approach to financial preparedness. This means having the right supplies and checklists at your fingertips for emergencies of all sorts, from illness to fires and floods, which could make it difficult for you to access your financial records.

After explaining what, exactly, each piece of your financial life is--from bonds and bank accounts to CDs and retirement plans--GET READY! guides you through the process of documenting vital information and gathering it in one place.

The book also demystifies the world of personal finances, explaining how to easily assess your own financial situation, identify issues that need to be addressed, become better educated about your finances, maximize your resources, and use simple tools and techniques to improve the health of your current financial plan.

With GET READY!, you'll learn how to take the right steps . . . before it's too late . . .
