Truth to the question is and as a financial advisor it is the same response I give to clients. When we talk about collecting social security benefits the question is to start right away or delay. Some times it make sense to delay but they all come back and say “I have paid in my whole life and I want to get all my money back before I die”. My answer to them and my answer to this question is “ you are dead so that will make you the first person to not know”!
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
People think of real estate, stocks, property...etc. But I'm wondering where would my audio systems go when I go? Most in my family are happy with television and an audio system that is more like a TV or toaster. Not to be morbid, but my friends that would have cared are no longer living. There are lawyers, charitable causes and other "things" for other possessions, but I cannot see my systems going to Goodwill....etc. For us baby boomers it is a real thought. My best friend, who died of cancer, had a decent system with sperates and some Martin Logan speakers... his wife didn't care and ended up giving it all away and basically just watches TV.
What do you want to happen to your system?...hopefully many of you have people in your life that your system would mean something to them.
