Kicking the Bucket List

The Ultimate Bucket List


Every single day, approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 from now until 2029 (They comprise 26% of the U.S. population). Eventually, 100% of them will die, leaving their possessions, financials, and funeral plans in the hands of their spouse or kids – if they have them. Yet less than 30% of U.S. adults have done any end-of-life planning, and that’s a problem.

How can this Silver Tsunami generation avoid leaving a disorganized mess? KICKING THE BUCKET LIST: 100 Downsizing and Organizing Things to Do Before You Die helps adults clear their clutter, firm up their financials and leave the world a better place.

KICKING THE BUCKET LIST shows you how to:

• Tackle downsizing without being overwhelmed

• Evaluate what to keep, toss, donate and recycle

• Creatively remove excess goods from your home

• Manage your finances for today and tomorrow

• Organize your funeral and create your legacy

The 128-page book, to be available in paperback and eBook formats, is a quick, easy read, with colorful photographs and bonus online information. Each of the 100 Bucket List items include links to helpful internet articles that expand on each point. The book, the eighth title in the Bucket List series, supports the work of the nonprofit National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the National Hospice Foundation.
