🚨 First responders spend their careers preparing for worst-case scenarios—so why do so many fail to prepare for their own? 🚨

In this episode of Budgets for Badges, we’re tackling a topic no one wants to talk about but everyone needs to—what happens when you’re no longer here? Enter The Legacy Box, your financial and personal "go-bag" for the inevitable. Because let’s be real, leaving your family to sort through your Amazon purchase history, unpaid parking tickets, and 47 different retirement accounts isn’t exactly a love letter.

We’ll cover:
✅ The must-haves for your Legacy Box—important documents, financial accounts, and yes, which photo you actually want at your funeral (because we all know your family will pick the worst one otherwise).
✅ Who cleans out your locker, cancels your gym membership, and handles your passwords—because your department won’t do it for you.
✅ Estate planning basics—wills, trusts, and why your buddy from the academy probably shouldn’t be your sole beneficiary.
✅ How to have “The Talk” with your family—so they’re not stuck playing detective when the time comes.

First responders know better than anyone that life is unpredictable. Having a Legacy Box isn’t about being morbid—it’s about taking care of your loved ones even after your last shift. Tune in, take notes, and start planning. Your family (and future ghost self) will thank you. 👻🚔🔥
