The unfortunate reality is that many individuals reach their later years wondering where time went. Caught up in the daily grind, we forget to assess life's journey. [Legacy planning](https://www.ironcladfamily.com/digital-family-vaults-and-estate-planning)offers a purposeful and intentional way to navigate life's decisions and prioritize what truly matters. Though not rocket science, it demands time and effort to set your legacy on an intentional path. Answering these legacy planning questions is a crucial starting point.

## **What's happening now?**

Assess your life's legacy – job, mortgage, children, savings. Break it into categories, reflecting on who you are in each area. Are you content, and if not, what changes can you make? Consider fitness, education, spirituality, family, health, and finances. Define your goals, identify barriers, and commit to living your best life while preparing for the future.

## **What needs preparation?**
