1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,160
fund begins when you start doing the research for answers

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,480
such as why are we dizzy after falling asleep on

4
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,759
the sofa? Plus what's the best way to go? A

5
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,279
will or a trust? I'm eryl, a daily writer, a

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,000
silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,399
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,519
daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yep,

9
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,640
it's my morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,600
we as people tend to throw things to the side

11
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:33,280
because we think we're going to deal with it later. Well,

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,560
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,079
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,240
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,679
is the daily mess. Falling asleep on the sofa while

16
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:50,240
watching TV sounds relaxing, right now, get up and use

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,240
the restroom, not too fast waking up. Then getting up

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,399
can be a huge struggle in the way of locating

19
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,640
your balance. There's a sudden change in your blood pressure.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,079
You've gone from lying down to suddenly standing up. Ooh,

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,359
then we have problems. Something doesn't feel right. Here's what

22
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:12,280
happens while resting on the sofa. Gravity causes your blood

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
to pool in your legs, reducing blood flow to your brain.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,799
The second you stand up, you're unbalanced and can easily

25
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:22,319
fall over. Sudden shifts in the body require a moment

26
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:25,879
of movement preparation. The idea that you can rush into

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480
the kitchen to grab a snack should be a situation

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,319
of know where you are. Sure age has a lot

29
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,400
to do with this, but research shows that at any age,

30
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,359
getting up too quickly can be an invitation to potential injury.

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Sit up, put your thoughts together, then begin your walk.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,879
Be aware of your inner core. Hey, coming up next,

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,719
what's better a will or a trust? Thanks for coming

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,519
back to the daily mess. My entire life, people have

35
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:58,640
asked me, Hey, you got a will yet? Have you

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920
got a will? It's gonna need a will. Do you

37
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:03,519
have a will? I remember doing one in the early

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,000
part of the nineteen nineties, but through clumsiness, I have

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,759
no idea what box it's currently sitting in. So my

40
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:14,159
wife and I decided it was time to get refocused

41
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:18,400
on reality, except this time it wouldn't be with a will,

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,719
but rather a trust one that's sitting on the cloud

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,560
and can be easily found. So what's the difference a

44
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,759
trust versus a will. One financial expert says there's no real,

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,400
single better option. The best choice depends on the individual.

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,360
A will is much simpler and more straightforward, whereas a

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,960
trust offers greater flexibility and control over your assets. A

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,560
will is cheaper. Sadly, it requires probate, which can be

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,520
time consuming. A trust avoids such a situation, streamlining distribution,

50
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:56,240
but it's more complex and very expensive. The time alone

51
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,360
to transfer everything to the trust has required a lot

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,400
of work. No matter who you are and what you're worth,

53
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,599
you need a will or a trust, or the state

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080
you're living in is going to get into your business.

55
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:10,560
I'm Meryl, and that's the daily mess.
