# 📖 Write your ethical will: values, lessons, what you want passed down

Not your financial will but your values. What you learned, what you got wrong, what you hope for the people who come after.

## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“Not your financial will but your values. What you learned, what you got wrong, what you hope for the people who come after.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Find the small version first

There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
