Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip! 

Last fall, I was at a conference where one of the breakout sessions discussed some really creative and powerful ways you can leave your children with so much more than your house and a few dollars in your IRA when you pass from this world. The presenter gave some really creative and innovative ideas for leaving a legacy, a couple of which I have implemented myself, and all of which I’ve seen implemented by others. 

Legacy is important, because the reality is, every one of us will leave a legacy. Even though your name probably won’t be on a hospital wing or a concert hall, it’s still important to think through how you want to be remembered and what gifts you want to leave with your family when you pass on from this world.

So this week, I’m sharing with you several creative and meaningful ways you can leave your legacy. 

Being intentional about your legacy also has an impact on your life today, and how it helps you prioritize what really matters and the impact you want to make on the people you care about the most. I had this experience myself when I went through the exercise of writing my own obituary a couple months ago. It was a real eye-opener and it spotlighted something that was important to me that I wasn’t really aware of until I went through this exercise. 

So tomorrow I’ll share with you what it’s like to write your own obituary (which is actually pretty fun), and then the rest of this week I’ll share with you additional ways you can leave your legacy and in the process, discover what’s most important to you in life and give some pretty amazing gifts to your loved ones.

That’s it for today, but before you go...If you haven’t already left a review for the One Minute Retirement Tip, please consider leaving an honest review in Amazon or iTunes. I read them all, so feel free to leave any feedback or topic suggestions there too. 

Thanks for listening. My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
