Hello, I'm Clara
At ten past two in the morning I was sitting in a hospital corridor with my mother's handbag on my lap, emptying it onto a plastic chair. The nurse needed her insurance card and a list of her pills. I found three lipsticks, a bus timetable and a receipt from 1998.
My brother drove forty minutes to her house and opened every kitchen drawer while I stayed on the phone. We found the card two days later, in the freezer, in a sandwich bag marked IMPORTANT. Mom is fine now and laughs about it. That night, I started the first page of the binder you're looking at.
Years later I moved from our four-bedroom house into a two-bedroom apartment, and the same blue binder came with me, every tab filled in. Now I share how I did it on my YouTube channel, one section at a time.
With a hug, Clara

Before you buy: the honest answers
I'm not very good with computers. Is this hard to use?
Not at all. You download it once and print it, just like printing a letter. After that, it's all paper and pen. If you can open an email, you can use this binder.
How do I get it after I pay?
Straight after checkout you'll see a download button, and we'll email you the link too. Click it and the binder opens as a PDF, ready to save and print.
Is it safe to write all this down?
Yes, if you follow the binder's rules: never write full passwords, PINs or account numbers (last four digits only), and keep it somewhere secure that two trusted people know about.
Is the print large enough?
Yes. It's designed in a large, clear font with roomy spaces to write in.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Email us within 30 days of buying and we'll refund your payment in full. You don't need to give a reason.
What's the difference between the two options?
The binder on its own is one payment of $34, with no subscription. The binder + club option is $40 today, which includes the binder and your first club pack, then $12 a month for a new pack. Cancel the club anytime with one email, and keep everything you've downloaded.
Still have a question? Email us and Clara's team will reply within one business day.
