If ya'll are delaying the dentist piece of advice: a cleaning regularly can prevent a filling. Ask me how I know. Also if your yet to do a will please consider this an order to go get that done ASAP.
😣 both are on my list of things to do. Denist is happening next Monday, but I keep putting the will creation off. Too many hard decisions
Wills are replaceable. You can make one set of choices now, and change your mind later and make a new Will. This is actually recommended if you have significant lifestyle/situation changes - eg. retirement or divorce or serious illness. If cost is holding you back, some Will providers do a cheapie basic version that can be suitable for say, next 10 years or so. That buys you time to do serious estate planning.
That’s actually really good to know. I’ve got a complex family situation and keep getting hung up on making the ‘right’ choices. Even doing a shorter-term basic one is actually a really good idea
