A reminder Power of Attorney is arguably more important than a will, and more urgent. Just had a call on @thismorning from an older lady asking about moving bills into her name from her husbands, who she's caring for as he has early stage dementia. Yet she hadn't yet done Power of Attorney. This is by far the more urgent consideration. Get it done while someone has the capacity to sign it. Then if and when they lose their faculties, the transition so you can look after their finances (and health and welfare) for them is relatively easy. If not, leave it too late, and the money may be locked away unless you got to the Court of Protection which is often and expensive and time consuming nightmare. Better still get a PoA when young. I did mine before I was 40. It is in place, so that if I lose my faculties in the future at that point (not before) someone can take over.

@anniemaisocial Spot on.

“You’re so quiet!” is a phrase I’d hear often growing up. → I’d always be told that I needed to raise my hand more in class, and participate more. → I was the first one to leave sleepovers. → I was always the one who dreaded presentations. And it made me think that being introverted was a bad thing, that I’d always be one step behind everyone else. To be totally honest, it felt like I wouldn’t really have a “career”. But I was wrong, and people are *wrong* about introverts. → I’m quiet, but a great listener. → I love to have fun, but I know when to go home to recharge. → I’m scared to do any sort of public speaking, but I’ve learnt HOW to do them. It’s something I wish was spoken about more growing up and in school, instead of being told to “just get on with it” or “everyone feels shy sometimes” or “you need to learn to be louder in the REAL world”. Understanding where my skills differ, and how to utilise them properly - instead of comparing myself to Extraverted Emily Who Has All That Confidence I Could Dream Of Having - has absolutely changed the game for me. I’m not just an introvert, I’m me 😌
