Welcome & First Steps

Hi!

I am Beth Boehr (pronounced “Bear”) and I will be your guide through this module. I’m so glad that you have chosen to give your loved ones the gift of preparing for the what-ifs of life! I did not have that kind of preparation when my husband died suddenly at age 48. I’ll tell you more of that story later, but first, a little bit about me.

I am an author, speaker, writer, financial & budgeting coach, and also a legacy coach. I have worked in the financial field for over 30 years. I created Beyond Budgeting, LLC out of my desire to provide hope through financial education. I quickly realized, though, as I helped people with their finances, that being financially prepared was not enough. That was when I founded Love Legacy.

That is the “professional Beth.” What I have not told you yet is that I am a wife, mother & grandmother!! That last one is one of my favorites. I love to spend time with my family, and especially my grandchildren. They are so much fun! I will share more about my family as we go through the module.

I want you to be able to give your loved ones a great gift. I want you to prepare with purpose so that when life deals a difficult blow, they do not have to worry about making decisions or wonder what your wishes are. You have already taken care of the details for them ahead of time.

Thank you for making the investment in your family and taking the time to Prepare with Purpose!

Beth
