Maybe someone would find comfort in rereading their financial statement on their death bed. They may be comforted by the fact they are leaving their loved ones with enough money to carry on without struggle. They might have worked hard their whole life to give their children a better life than they had growing up.
Maybe that car is so important because it once belonged to their grandfather. Who they loved and respected so much they just had to spend all that money to restore the car he had enjoyed. It might be wonderful to be carried out to the garage one last time. To sit in that car and remember the wonderful times spent with their grandfather and the Sunday drives with friends and family through the years. The radio just might be playing their favorite song.
As for me; hand me my college degree. It is a symbol of my hard work and my commitment to helping others. I earned that degree because what mattered then was people. I couldn't have spent my life counseling those who needed a helping hand if I had not gone to college.
If you truly believe that what matters most is people and relationships then take time to talk to those in your life. Ask them about what is important to them and why. And don't wait until they are on their death bed.
