On the Lighter Side

Tuesday, March 08, 2011

I came across an article titled "I Can't Take It With Me" in Time Magazine, written by Joel Stein this week that I could not helping sharing with everyone. I think the importance of estate planning (Family Wealth & Legacy Planning to you BridgeBuilders) is evident in the article, but done so in a way that had me laughing out loud. I think many people think the way the fictional couple does, but as I like to say, planning is not something you do for yourself, but something you do for your loved ones. I hope you find it as funny as I did. Here is the link http://ti.me/enMYKL to the article.
