MONEY WITHOUT MATH

Let’s Talk About Death, Baby with Gail Rubin

Since the pandemic, many Americans are thinking about death more, but they still don’t want to TALK about it. It turns out most Americans would rather talk about sex, politics, religion, money—any of the traditional taboo topics—over death. Not surprisingly, they haven’t planned for death either, and a number admit to hoping they die a quick death and avoid end-of-life planning entirely. Unfortunately, that’s not exactly a plan. Opening up the conversation around death is essential before moving on to the practical and emotional preparation. Guest Gail Rubin is an unconventional death educator who uses humor, games, films, and more to bring light to this dark topic. If you’ve been avoiding planning—or talking—about the inevitable, let this be your sign from the other side!
