When the author's spouse was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, it shattered his comfort and sparked deep reflections on life’s uncertainties. He realized that having money alone is insufficient; without proper arrangements for accessing it during crises, families can be left vulnerable. While not the essence of life, money serves as the lubricant that keeps the family engine running smoothly.
This experience inspired the creation of Family CEO, a platform designed to help families prepare for the unexpected. Whether facing the sudden loss of a parent or ensuring proper care for a special needs family member, finding critical financial, medical, and legal information amid emotional turmoil can be challenging.
Family CEO serves as a practical guide, helping families manage their wealth and ensure continuity and security. Covering sensitive topics like emergency funds, health insurance, and funeral arrangements, the book introduces 24 essential trackers for financial portfolios, health records, children's education, and more. Documenting these areas reduces stress and confusion, making vital information readily accessible when needed.
Accompanying the book is the web-site, which offers a secure digital solution for families to store and update information. With interactive tabs for each tracker, users can manage their details. The Family Tree (Vanshavali) feature also encourages recording lineage, allowing future generations to preserve their family's history.
