Estate Planning -- With A Twist!



So, what's the twist?


The twist is that this site is like no estate planning site you've ever visited. It goes way, way beyond the topics that similar sites deal with.

You might think "estate planning" sounds stuffy and boring. It may not even sound like anything you'd be interested in.


But, really, estate planning is about everything that's important in your life.


It's about your:

Estate planning is about doing things to maximize resources to improve your life and the lives of those you love. It's about arranging your financial affairs so that you have more money (and time) to share with people and causes you care about. Check out Basics of Estate Planning for more about this.


And, by the way, you probably have a larger estate than you realize. Most people underestimate the total value of their assets -- including their insurance policies, employment and government benefits, and real estate -- that will pass to their heirs.


But, even all that is only half of it. That's the easy part. Planning how to handle your wealth after you've got it--heck, that's easy.


The much harder thing to do is to actually obtain the estate (that is not inherited) in the first place.


We have a whole new series of articles about medicaid issues. Here's the place to find them and also to ask your Medicaid Questions. For a terrific medicaid planning book, go to

How to obtain a solid estate (wealth) is the unique estate planning focus of this site. We talk a lot about that because it's what visitors to this site are really interested in. Achieving financial independence and freedom. It's what I'm passionate about. You can read and watch a video about what I'm doing to achieve true financial independence (even in these uncertain times) at Best Low Cost Investment.


It's not about the money. I could care less about money for the sake of money. But, money is a great tool to help us (and our families) live the lives we all want to live. Lives that are full, generous and fulfilling. Time is the most precious resource we each have. And money can buy us time.


If you know what I'm talking about, this site is for you. If not, well, check it out anyway, just to be sure :)


I invite you to join in. This site is a community effort between thousands of people interested in improving their financial lives. I am just the facilitator; the guy who gets the ball rolling. At the bottom of many of the pages on this site, there is a place where you can submit your own thoughts and ideas and read comments submitted by other readers.


I hope you'll contribute. The entire Estate Planning Hub community will be richer (maybe in more ways than one) for it.


Lately, we've received questions about the best way to get payday loans or cash advances. Generally we do not recommend you do this as usually you will pay a high price in interest and fees for that cash advance. However, there are some circumstances where it is necessary and sometimes when it does make sense (for instance if you have a temporary need for quick cash to avoid bounced checks in your checking account). If you do find yourself in that difficult position, LaunchLoans.com seems to us to be a good way to obtain quick personal loans and/or short term loans.

If you have questions or comments about anything on this site, please contact me any time.

I just want to thank you for this site. It answered my questions. I think many people that do research on the net take it for granted and when they find what they are looking for they forget "someone put time, money, etc into providing me with this information."

Thank you!
