Someday, someone is going to have to deal with all your stuff. Have you thought about who that might be?
After spending two weeks in a small beach condo with almost none of my belongings, I came home wondering: How much stuff do we really need?
That simple realization inspired Episode 16 of the Knoxville Financial Q&A Show.
Brian and I had a surprisingly lighthearted conversation about the things we accumulate over our lifetimes, the responsibilities we may unintentionally leave our families, and some simple steps we can take to make things easier for them.
And believe me, we spent plenty of time laughing at ourselves. Apparently, I have some expensive suits in my closet that haven't seen daylight in ten years! 😂
We also discuss organizing important financial and estate documents and share some Knoxville-area resources that may help families who are already facing this challenge.
We're not suggesting you get rid of everything you love. We're simply encouraging you to think about who may have to deal with it someday.
