Imagine suddenly you no longer exist, poof, from one day to the next there is no more you.
What if you knew that this day would come in a month?
What if it wasn’t for another year?
Or in 5 years?
Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now?
If so, why aren’t you already doing it?
Yeah… the case I had in mind was similar. A relative inherited some property but also the debt, so they ended up with a tiny amount of money – it was basically a waste of time. I heard something similar regarding timeshares (which sound like a curse from hell.) But I’m not a lawyer and the laws vary by jurisdiction.
