When I’m Gone, the 65Nation Planner

Some of the best conversations couples have start with a question neither of them wanted to ask.

Do you know where the life insurance policy is? Which accounts are in both our names? What would you want, if it ever came to that?

When I’m Gone gives you a gentle way in. Pour two cups of coffee, open the planner to the first phase, and take it one section at a time. One of you fills in the accounts, the other adds what’s missing. By the end of the afternoon, you’ll both know where everything is.

No spouse? It works just as well with a son, a daughter, or a close friend.

The first 65Nation readers have already picked up their copies this week. Yours is $14.99, instant download, 111 pages in large print.
