A couple weeks ago, I wrote about Apple’s new Passwords app and how it’s the most underrated feature in iOS 18. If you haven’t read that post yet, here’s the short version: it’s finally easy—and secure—to share passwords with your family. You can pass on everything from your Netflix login to your Coinbase account, without texting screenshots or sticky-noting passwords to the fridge.

That app solves one major part of your digital legacy: access.

But what about context? What about the full picture of your financial life, assets, liabilities, insurances, safes, docs, subscriptions, and, let’s be honest—random corners of your physical and digital empire?

That’s where Quicken LifeHub comes in. It’s like a digital binder for your life—not just your logins, but the what, where, and why of everything you’ve built.

The Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About

We all assume we’ll “get around” to documenting our stuff. But let’s face it, we’re usually the only ones who know where all the digital skeletons (and treasures) are buried.

And if you’re like me, you’ve probably given your spouse vague instructions like:

“If anything happens to me, it’s all in Google Drive under the folder named ’Important’… or maybe ‘Stuff’… try both.”

Now imagine trying to untangle that when emotions are high and time is short.

LifeHub: The Missing Piece of Your Digital Estate

Quicken LifeHub isn’t a will or legal trust—it’s a companion tool. Think of it as your master cheat sheet for life. It guides you to document:

Bank accounts, investments, loans, and credit cards
Property, vehicles, insurance, and retirement plans
Subscriptions, memberships, and utilities
Health info, pet records, personal mementos
Safe deposit boxes, deeds, tax returns—you name it

And the best part? It does it with structure and security. You can share access with specific people, limit what they see, and update things as life changes.

Real Talk: This Isn’t Just for Boomers

I’m in my 50s. I fly small planes. I run businesses. I invest in stocks, crypto, and startups. I’ve got domain names, cloud accounts, tax folders, and insurance policies spread across apps and hard drives.

Even if you’re younger, if you’ve got any financial or digital footprint (and you do), LifeHub gives you a clean, structured way to map it all.

Apple Passwords + LifeHub = Digital Peace of Mind

Use Apple Passwords to share access. Use LifeHub to share understanding.

Together, they cover the two most stressful post-death scenarios:

“I can’t get into Dad’s accounts.”
“I got in, but I have no idea what any of this means.”

LifeHub even reminds you of things you may not think about—like listing your Venmo balance, vehicle title, or backup email account. It’s like being gently nagged by a very organized future version of yourself.

Take 30 Minutes This Weekend

Seriously. Block off 30 minutes. Set up LifeHub. Fill in what you know. Share it with your spouse. Then breathe a little easier knowing you’ve taken a thoughtful step.

Because planning for the future isn’t just about money or legacy—it’s about not leaving behind a mess.

Your loved ones deserve clarity. And you deserve peace of mind.

As a young entrepreneur starting my first company back in 1993 at the age of 24 in India, I had a really severe shortcoming in my skill set. I had no idea how to manage the money we were earning from selling BBS subscriptions for my startup, JabberWocky BBS.

My partner, my younger brother was still in school, and I had just graduated from computer engineering college myself. The only thing that I learned in college that was of any use, was hacking Linux. And that skill was acquired on my own without any help from the college staff or syllabus.

In the approximately six years or so (a story for another post😀) I spent in engineering school, they tried to teach us everything from Thermodynamics and Strength of Materials to Compiler Construction and Linear Circuits. But the one subject that no one taught us was finance.

Even today, none of the engineering syllabi offer a course on financial basics, like reading a balance sheet, raising corporate capital, and forming a company?

Luckily for me, one day in 1995, I saw an ad in the local newspaper on a Financial Basics class taught by another young entrepreneur named Anil Lamba. I signed up for the course, and over the next ten weeks, every Saturday was spent learning how to be a financially literate entrepreneur. That course changed my life and put me on the path of financial freedom. I was able to navigate the deliberately complex world of corporate finance and manage the entirely crucial world of personal finance.

Today, my guest is Anil Lamba himself. We have kept in touch through all these years, and I have watched his training program grow to a successful enterprise at Lamcon Schools. He is the author of many best-selling financial books (all of which I own). His first book “Romancing the Balance Sheet” is required reading for anyone who even thinks of starting their own company.

Watch our conversation, and hopefully, it will reaffirm your own financial literacy or get you on the path to it. I cannot emphasize how important this is for everyone.
