I consider myself a pretty pulled-together type gal when it comes to this stuff. But you’ve got a couple there I really need to do! Thanks.

quickie on the credit card things (my major task of the last few years)… make sure you check any one-off fees for balance transfers and then compare the interest on the higher rate – and *also* compare both to your plan! A lot of cards here have a 3-5% transfer fee and if your plan is to pay something off in say 6 months that fee could actually be more than 6 months of interest at the higher rate. A good friend got caught by that.

Lucinda: I agree. My husband and I have definitely neglected this area as we don’t have kids either. Still, it weighs heavy on my mind–not daily, but from time to time. And thanks for bringing up the living will. Our families all know of our wishes, but boy things are a lot easier when you have them in writing!

Sweet… I’m happy to say I’m doing all of these with the exception of the Will. I have a handwritten living will, but it needs to become an official document. When you don’t have kids other things become priority
