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.

Almost everything we own was put into a trust, so when we’re gone, everyone can fight it out. Unfortunately, there is nobody in my family or hers that have any interest hifi audio. I doubt it will go into a dumpster, but there will probably be no one who will get as much enjoyment out of it as I do.

I would say probably to one of my kids.  They are all music fans, though they are busy and probably don't listen too much, but maybe in the future!

I feel extremely blessed that all the people in my life important enough to care about, would love to get any piece of my stereo. It was important to me. It will be important to them. The equipment is just the more tangible part of our experiences with music at a level few in my circle can afford. It really is about the music.

Unfortunately my kids would not be good custodians of my gear, I don't think either one of them could even figure out how to fire it up and get sound.

My future son in law has the best chance of getting it when I take a dirt nap.....  He is the only one drooling over my Toolshed 300b...... A few months ago I gave him my Grado RS2e so he could have a taste of good sound and he loves them so ......

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”!
