I actually haven't taken the time to do this myself. I feel at 40, I'm not even ready to think about dying. But my brother-in-law recently passed away and this got me into thinking how important a will is. Have you ever...

bloggermegan Thanks maxi for reminding us that its not enough to just write a will, but it's also important to update it from time to time. My husband has a living will also which details that he wants to be cremated. It also specifies instructions in case we both pass...

After the earthquake in Japan, I guess a lot of people started getting more aware of the reality that an earthquake can strike anywhere, anytime. I'm thinking of getting an earthquake emergency kit ready, just in case. Not to...

bloggermegan That's a good idea, bringing a radio, as well. I think I would also add some bottled water, a few cooking utensils and some instant noodles. :)

bloggermegan yep, I do the same thing too (procrastinate).. but it's in my do list. It may take some time to get it started, especially if there are too many things to consider and too many people to think about..In my case, I only have two kids, not that many...

bloggermegan true, Jai.. sometimes people don't do it because they think it's not a good idea to prepare for one's death. Even if we don't have that many assets, if we have minor children, we can also write on our will who we are appointing as guardians in case we die too...

bloggermegan That's the sad part really when we live too far from the people we care the most. At least there's internet and webcam. I know it's not the same as a real hug... but it will have to do sometimes :) Try to enjoy your day, and give mom a call - that has...

I have a friend who approached me for a loan because her husband had an accident, where he hit another person. They were looking for some money to help pay for the victim's hospital bills. I have often come to the rescue of...

bloggermegan Hi sumanadep, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess I can try and help her in other ways, I've done so in the past, and she has done the same for me. But this time, I have to say no to help her help her husband. I hope she will see the wisdom of...

bloggermegan That's right, Donna. It's really a matter of saying no to someone who has been there for me in the past. She's upset with me, I know that. But I think given time she'll see my reasons for doing what I did. Thanks!

bloggermegan Thanks for the reply. It's sometimes not easy to put boundaries to friendship. And I think that's where I feel a little guilty, because saying no to my friend may make her feel that she can't count on me to be there for her. Anyways, I think a good chat...
