Episode notes
Schedule A Full-Day Money Review
- Make a full-day "date with your money" to review every aspect of your finances before the new year.
- Use the day to check protections, coverage, and whether policy limits still reflect current replacement costs.
Replacement Costs Rise Faster Than You Think
- Inflation and regional disasters raise replacement and rebuilding costs over time.
- Your original home insurance limits likely understate today's true replacement expenses.
Double-Check Account Beneficiaries
- Review beneficiaries on all retirement accounts and HSAs to ensure they reflect your current wishes.
- Update beneficiaries immediately if they name ex-spouses or outdated parties.
