Your Belongings after you are gone

[Rey619]

For one reason or another, I've been thinking about my own mortality lately and it's got me asking myself a lot of questions. Do any of you have a plan in place for your belongings, more specifically your collections and stuff that mean a lot to you? Does it depress you to think that life truly is one big game of Monopoly, where we accumulate a bunch of stuff in our lifetimes, only for it to "go back in the box" so to speak when it's all over?

I don't have a plan for my stuff just yet as I'm still very young and unless something drastic happens, that time won't happen for decades yet. I never want kids so I won't have anyone to pass my things down to, but it kinda bums me out to think of what could happen to my things after I'm gone. Whether pieces of my collection end up getting split up and wind up with different people, it not being taken care of, or some of it even becoming trash because it doesn't have the same value to them as it would to me.

What's your take on this subject? What's the plan for your stuff? Or any cool ideas so that we may live on after we're gone

If I end up having a kid. I want them to have all my belongings.

My wife and kid get my stuff, but I want to teach my son responsibility so it doesn't ruin him, assuming it's a decent or large amount of money.

Well, some celebrities, for instance, are not leaving inheritances for various reasons. I can understand to some extent.

The kind of idea really makes me feel so uneasy. I think I would love my family to make charitable donations of part of my items to a charity.

Don't care since I will be gone, but eeeh, my next of kin can get all my stuff.

I never have an issue on how my belongings are shared either by siblings, friends or relatives. I know that I won't be talking or hear anything when I am gone, my belongings are theirs, they can have it no matter who was the closest.

It is as simple as that. Ensuring your kids inherit your properties should be the way to go about it. It helps to give them a sense of purpose.

Hopefully my kid will continue to build the empire I'm trying to build when I'm gone 😂
