    Your Stuff is Worth Nothing?

    Summary In this episode, Dan Glazier discusses the often-overlooked reality of the value of personal belongings. He introduces the concept of the endowment effect, where individuals tend to overvalue items due to personal attachment. Through a walkthrough appraisal process, he explains how many items that hold sentimental value may not have significant market value, while also highlighting the potential hidden treasures that can be found in personal collections. Takeaways: Most of our stuff is worth very little. We tend to over-evaluate our own stuff. This is called the endowment effect. The stuff starts owning us a little bit. Most of the stuff in your household is worth nothing. I find value also when we do these walkthroughs. Sterling Silver can be worth hundreds, sometimes thousands. Original artwork can hold significant value. Mid-century modern is still hot. We over-evaluate our personal stuff.

    Do you have a plan for your stuff after you die?

    I have created a 6 step plan in dealing with your stuff before you die. In this episode I talk about how important it is to have a plan for all your stuff - personal possessions, household contents, furniture, artwork, collectibles before you die so your family doesn't fight and argue over your stuff after you die! After a loved one dies, families are in a very fragile and emotional place. With a good well thought out estate plan, including a plan to deal with all your stuff you will prevent so much family dysfunction. This will help create a strong family bound for generations to come. Instead of leaving family landmines, you are leaving a family legacy. dan@glazierappraisals.com #estateplanning #appraisal #familylegacy
