NEW YORK - s4story -- American families were financially unprepared for the crises of 2020. The majority carry debt, lack a six-month emergency fund, and have no legal documents designating inheritance or guardians to raise their kids. Half of us have no retirement money saved. And even pre-pandemic, too few were close to a financial path for the good things in life: buying a home, starting a business, taking a dream vacation, or retiring early.

As we turn the page to a new year—as unpredictable as the one before—family estate planning attorney Laura Meier offers THE FAMILY NEST EGG: The Complete Parents' Planning Guide for Building Wealth and Preparing for the Worst (Diversion Books; January 2021; $17.99 Paperback; ISBN 9781635767483), an empowering program of real talk, real-life stories, and time-tested legal, financial, and practical guidance to move our families from stress to success and security.

In THE FAMILY NEST EGG, Meier gives every parent the knowledge and actionable advice on the financial and estate planning essential to taking back our future, building wealth, and protecting our loved ones against the worst:
