The good news is, you can prepare. In GET READY!, financial expert and award-winning author Tony Steuer explains how you can get organized and plan for the vagaries of life. Trained as a first responder for wilderness outings, Tony takes the first aid approach to financial preparedness.

"Marie Kondo has inspired many to declutter their lives, whether it's through her writing or her wildly popular Netflix series. Her KonMari method can also be applied to all those personal and financial documents that are scattered around your home. Steuer has created this handy guide to keep track of it all. The same principles can be applied to electronic documents, which can be placed into folders you can create on your computer."
