f something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know what to do?

Would they know where your accounts are? Who to call? How the bills are paid? Where your important documents are?

I've sat with families trying to answer those questions while they're also grieving. And one thing has become very clear to me:

One of the greatest gifts we can leave our family isn't necessarily more money.

It's more clarity.

This week's video is about a conversation every family should have, even if we hope they won't need the answers for a very long time.

📱 The Scenario: You get a message that references your hometown, a recent purchase, or a family member by name. It feels like someone who knows you — but it’s a scam. 🤖 The Tactic: AI scrapes public info from social media, forums, and public records to make scam messages feel eerily personal. 🙅‍♀️ Keep It Private: - Limit what you share online (birthdays, vacations, job changes) - Tighten social media privacy settings - Think twice before completing those “fun” quizzes 🧠 Smart Move: If a message feels *too* specific — but you don’t know the sender — pause and verify before clicking, replying, or sharing.

Understand how AI is changing the game.

**What if fear is making your retirement decisions?**

When people think about retirement risk, the stock market is often the first thing that comes to mind.

But market movement may not be the greatest threat to a retirement plan. The bigger danger could be making a permanent financial decision because of a temporary emotion.

Moving everything to cash after a downturn, claiming Social Security too early or changing your investment strategy without considering the long-term effects may create consequences that are difficult to reverse.

A strong retirement plan cannot predict every market change, tax-law update or unexpected turn in life. It should help you evaluate your options and adjust thoughtfully when circumstances change.

In this video, I explain why fear-driven decisions may be more damaging than market volatility and how an adaptable plan can help you move through uncertainty with greater clarity.

📹 The Scenario: You see a video of a public figure or celebrity making an endorsement or sharing urgent news. It looks real. But it isn’t. 🧠 The Trick: AI deepfakes can stitch together audio and facial movements to create highly convincing, completely fabricated videos. They’re now being used to sell products, spread misinformation, or impersonate trusted voices. ✅ Spot & Pause: - Look for strange eye movement, lip-sync issues, or offbeat pacing. - Don’t trust a video just because it’s “face to face.” - Check if credible outlets are reporting the same message. 💡 Pro Tip: If the video feels emotionally charged or sensational, slow down and verify before reacting or sharing.

AI is making scams more convincing than ever.

What would your family miss first if you took a week off from running the house?

A. Knowing all the passwords
B. Finding anything in the house
C. Your personal tech support
D. The laundry somehow getting folded
E. Remembering everyone’s schedule
F. Deciding what’s for dinner

Comment with your letter below. Bonus points if you tag the person who would be completely lost without you.

It is a fun question, but there is something meaningful behind it. Every person contributes value to a household, including many things that never appear on a pay stub.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month. It is a helpful reminder to consider the people who depend on you, the role you play in their lives, and whether your current protection still fits the life and family you have today.
