I just recently had my living trust and will set up. There is a sheet you fill out in the will to leave individual items to whomever, so when my Neice & hubby were here I asked them what they would like in my house (beside the financial things I have doled out to folks). They aren't too materialistic and said, well only the things that have some value to you...so I listed them to receive a bedroom set passed down from my Mom & Dad (it was their first set and very kewl), then an antique recliner (passed down from the parents that I refinished and upholstered myself), my Dad's refinished desk, then my two Golden Retrievers :) and a few other things. Then my Neice's husband said...how about all the musical instruments you have...I could donate them to a school...so thoughtful...I liked that idea. Then I said what about the Tiki bar it is a classic and then they both said...well your whole Tiki lounge is what is most representative of you...enough said in my book...they get the whole enchalada. I think they get Tiki and don't even know it. :lol:

I agree with you C&A....the majority of people in the United States will soon be an older generation. The current younger generation is not as skill/work oriented as those of us in the Baby Boomer generation...so it is going to be up to us to be sure we really save for retirement (since our Social Security System is not stable like it used to be in our parent's generation). We need to do whatever we can to help future generations with everything on this planet...especially ecology, as it will affect them more than it does us now. We definitely need to preserve our Tiki lounges and the great collections so many people have.

Start hoarding your booze and tikis now...the end is coming soon. :o
