How to Financially Prepare for Death and Protect Loved Ones (#77)

Most of us avoid thinking about money and death in the same sentence — but preparing financially for death is one of the greatest gifts we can leave our loved ones. In this episode, Jeremy Schneider, founder of Personal Finance Club, shares practical advice on how to organize finances, plan ahead, and make sure the people you love aren’t left with chaos when you’re gone.

Jeremy explains simple but powerful steps to get your financial life in order, how to approach conversations about money and death, and why planning now can save your family from stress later.

This episode offers a unique take on grief and loss — reframing financial planning not just as numbers, but as a profound act of love and responsibility.

About DEAD Talks

 DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
