Many people who reach their 80s and 90s want to start transferring their assets to their kids early rather than wait for it to be inheritance—but this may not always be the best way to do it. In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing important insight into passing assets on to your beneficiaries. You will hear about common mistakes that parents make when trying to gift assets to their children, as well as how you can make the process easier and less of a financial burden on your beneficiaries.

When my cousin casually mentioned he didn't have life insurance for his non-working spouse, it sparked an important conversation. This episode is a must for anyone that underestimates the economic value of a stay-at-home partner.
Don't let the absence of a salary fool you into thinking there's an absence of value; we break down the cost of replacing those day-to-day tasks and why ensuring both partners are insured is a cornerstone of prudent financial planning.
We discuss practical methods to calculate life insurance needs without overlooking the irreplaceable role of the partner at home.
