Speaker 1: I like asking questions. The reason why is because the
fund begins when you start doing the research for answers
such as why are we dizzy after falling asleep on
the sofa? Plus what's the best way to go? A
will or a trust? I'm eryl, a daily writer, a
silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the
daily mess, a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yep,
it's my morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas,
we as people tend to throw things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later. Well,
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. Falling asleep on the sofa while
watching TV sounds relaxing, right now, get up and use
the restroom, not too fast waking up. Then getting up
can be a huge struggle in the way of locating
your balance. There's a sudden change in your blood pressure.
You've gone from lying down to suddenly standing up. Ooh,
then we have problems. Something doesn't feel right. Here's what
happens while resting on the sofa. Gravity causes your blood
to pool in your legs, reducing blood flow to your brain.
The second you stand up, you're unbalanced and can easily
fall over. Sudden shifts in the body require a moment
of movement preparation. The idea that you can rush into
the kitchen to grab a snack should be a situation
of know where you are. Sure age has a lot
to do with this, but research shows that at any age,
getting up too quickly can be an invitation to potential injury.
Sit up, put your thoughts together, then begin your walk.
Be aware of your inner core. Hey, coming up next,
what's better a will or a trust? Thanks for coming
back to the daily mess. My entire life, people have
asked me, Hey, you got a will yet? Have you
got a will? It's gonna need a will. Do you
have a will? I remember doing one in the early
part of the nineteen nineties, but through clumsiness, I have
no idea what box it's currently sitting in. So my
wife and I decided it was time to get refocused
on reality, except this time it wouldn't be with a will,
but rather a trust one that's sitting on the cloud
and can be easily found. So what's the difference a
trust versus a will. One financial expert says there's no real,
single better option. The best choice depends on the individual.
A will is much simpler and more straightforward, whereas a
trust offers greater flexibility and control over your assets. A
will is cheaper. Sadly, it requires probate, which can be
time consuming. A trust avoids such a situation, streamlining distribution,
but it's more complex and very expensive. The time alone
to transfer everything to the trust has required a lot
of work. No matter who you are and what you're worth,
you need a will or a trust, or the state
you're living in is going to get into your business.
I'm Meryl, and that's the daily mess.
