The 223^rd edition of the Ladies of Hive CONTEST has come to a close and winners have been selected! We would like to thank everyone who participated!

BIG THANKS goes to @sagarkothari88 for sending a bonus prize to all on the Winners List: a small amount of actual HivePower (HP) sent directly to the accounts of everyone on the Winners List! Winners will immediately begin benefitting from that prize and will earn APR on it, too! If anyone has a spare witness vote to cast his way, I'm sure he would appreciate it!

Judge's Notes:
Excellent advice for Canadians to follow, great ideas to everyone else. Not one of us will know when the last bell rings.
Having a niece who is in a similar situation to yourself, director at an Independent Financial Advisors company, much studying to further her knowledge!
Early 2018 advised we 'oldies' should update our Wills, along with Living Will, suggested company. Seven months later her sister and father passed away, thank goodness both had heeded her advice as did most of the family.
What transpired over personal last quarter I'm extremely grateful a Will is in place. Raised a Power of Attorney quickly before end of year for my husband, after snake bite realized Alzheimer and Dementia to be a major problem as well.
Take care and thanks for great advice given!

Judge's Notes:
Unusual type of Will to enter, never heard of it before. Here a Will is read upon the death of person normally filed with a Lawyer or similar. In early years we had another called Family Trusts, yet heard where people had used that method the Lawyers had cleaned out the account before the children could inherit, some cases the spouse also lost most of their assets.
Leaving non-tangible assets a nice thought to pass onto the next generation by example.

Third-Place Winners, receiving 1 HIVE, 50 Ecency Points, 20 LOH tokens, 2 HSBI (HiveStakeBasedIncome), and 3 QUEERH tokens:

Judge's Notes:
Setting up a Will for your daughter will put your mind at ease, more than you realize.
Perfection is procrastination, you start becoming pedantic to a point of freezing not knowing what to do, eventually lose time due to our own fantasy by taking this route, another problem is time is money today.
Appears you have crossed over the hurdle now able to move into a comfortable progress zone.

Judge's Notes:
Once we change our mindset of perfection, progress is easier for some reason to attain plans set out. Great to hear change in attitude is propelling you forward.

Judge's Notes:
Stop beating yourself up, perfection almost got you then you realized progress was still being made, so good to hear. Too many blame themselves forgetting how many steps it takes to become proficient in their achievement.
Being more social will help negotiate life, not only seeking a sweet heart, good luck in the venture!
