A thought and a question. (And I will probably rewrite this a dozen times before I think I have got it across right!).
As you think about your boat, how do you value it in monetary terms?
I am not talking about the intangible value of the enjoyment, experiences and health values etc. you get from it (which I agree with). But hard cold cash value. And not from a stance as if you were listing her for sale.
When you consider your net worth do you add in what you think your boat is worth? While you love you boat, do you still see it has a dollar/pound/Euro value? You see it as part of your estate?
I kept the last three cars I had until they were only worthy of donating to the Salvation Army - including an aging Jaguar XJ8!
For some reason I don't view Sonas as an asset. My brain knows it has value, but my sense is if I use it for as long as I can and if it has no or minimum value at the end I won't care.
That's not to say I am not maintaining her "with an open check book," and my brain tells me that she is worth quite a lot, but for some reason I don't look at her as having current monetary value, or feel I ever will.
Anyone else?
Or a strange thought?
