If disaster struck tomorrow, would your financial essentials be ready to grab and go? Today, Joe—along with contributors Paula Pant from Afford Anything, Jesse Cramer from Personal Finance for Long-Term Investors, and our resident expert OG—assemble the ultimate financial go bag. Meanwhile, Doug handles his usual duties as announcer, trivia master, and general chaos instigator.

The must-have documents – Passports, Social Security cards, insurance policies... what belongs in your bag, and what can stay in the filing cabinet?
Cash vs. digital access – How much should you keep in physical cash? And is gold really a smart emergency asset, or just a really heavy way to slow yourself down?
Estate planning and emergency preparedness – The financial moves today that can make a crisis less stressful later.
Password managers: genius or a liability? – We debate whether your digital keys should be stored in the cloud, on paper, or tattooed in invisible ink.
Trivia showdown: Doug tests the team’s knowledge with a question that (probably) has nothing to do with financial preparedness.
Campus co-op stores and Harvard history—why are we talking about this? You’ll find out.

If you’ve been meaning to get your financial house in order for emergencies, this episode has everything you need to build your own financial go bag—without overpacking.
