Mark: that is a very interesting subject in itself. Several years ago I checked out some options: green funerals and burials, ecopods, trappist caskets and natural burials. These are all slightly different and is the next step after retirement planning. Thanks for reminding me to get back to this subject!

@Matt: Thanks…and what a royal screw up! Funny thing is the links were fine when I prepped the article – something must have happened when it posted live. Thanks for the heads up!

How about the a note on the Final Big Purchase, funeral and death expenses. Most people don’t want to think about it but with the average cost being about $8K and decisions are made during a very emotional time, it is an area fraught with fiscal dangers. Personally I am donating my body to science (if it is in condition to be used) so no plot, casket purchase, etc. If not in condition to be used, I plan on a green funeral, no embalming, plain wood box or blanket and burial in unmarked field by my family. This is legal in Texas. From nature and back to nature.

Hey FD,

From the link “Teach Your Kids How to Manage Money in 7 Easy Lessons” down to the last link all the links are pointing to the Car Leasing one. Just wanted to give you a heads up that your links are a little off
