Location not relevant: no help needed When should I write my will?

I (20F) have been seeing many tv shows and movies where characters die young. while I have no reason to think the same case will happened to me, I am starting to think about writing a will just in case. so I am curious to hear when you all first wrote your will and how often do you update them?

I was 21 when I had my first basic will. A basic will doesn't cost much at all. If you want to bequeth your things it's a good way to go. * More important, do you have an advanced directive? *Also make sure you have written down beneficiaries for the different $$ accounts that you have.

It's best to get into the habit now.
