In this heartfelt and wisdom-packed episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck welcomes Kris Miller, financial legacy strategist, author, paralegal, and founder of Healthy Money Happy Life. Known as the “Money Maestro,” Kris has helped over 6,000 clients create living trusts and protect more than $2.5 billion in assets, without losing a dime to market risk. Her mission is simple yet profound: help people preserve their financial future while building a life of purpose, peace, and generosity. Kris shares her powerful personal journey, from walking barefoot across America on a spiritual pilgrimage to working in law and finance, teaching people how to build a “living legacy.” With warmth, clarity, and urgency, she explains how safe money strategies, legal tools like living trusts, and values-based planning can help people avoid financial disaster while giving generously during their lifetime. “It’s not just about saving,” Kris says. “It’s about living, and giving, while you still can.” Key Takeaways Safe money strategies (like equity-indexed annuities) can protect assets from market loss, long-term care costs, and probate. Living trusts aren’t just for end-of-life, they’re tools to manage your values and legacy now. Financial literacy is critical: most people don’t know where their money is invested, and that can cost them. A “living legacy” means giving while you’re alive—not waiting until after you’re gone to make an impact.
