Couldn't agree more. I know a lot of people that one of the couple hoarded/collected stuff and the living one almost always hates having to get rid of all their spouses junk/fine collectables. Then to make it more fun you almost always have kids and others fighting over their "fair share".

If they don't love/appreciate the cards/stuff, their "fair share" is zero.

This may be hard to grasp, but some people consider their wife/partner and kids to be equals or at least worth consideration in their life...especially once their life is over and they have ownership of things they have little idea about.

My wife knows what to do with my cards if I should check out early even if it means only getting 70-80% of the return if she would do it in a more attentive way. I know we don't need the money, so I've told her the best way to get rid of them with the least amount of hassle and which card(s) mean the absolutely most to me if she wants to keep that part of my memory around for herself.

Hmmmm. Yes, it is indeed tough to grasp. That's something at which I suppose I could work, but I've always been more into subjects such as Math, History, Geography, Chemistry, Economics, Latin, etc. The Psychology stuff I've always left to others.

I never knew you enjoyed Latin LOL

Oh, absolutely! It was one of my strong subjects between ninth and twelfth grades. And I still have a very keen interest in Roman and ancient history in general.
