A suggestion for the current and next generation. Collect experiences rather than things. http://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/want-happiness-buy-experiences-not-more-stuff http://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/want-happiness-buy-experienc... Some quick tips: - Pictures with people are much more fun to look at later in life than landscapes, unless you're an amazing landscape photographer of course! - Get off the tourist bus when visiting foreign countries. Walk the city. Pop your head into a local shop. Try that weird doughy thing, it might be tasty. Be almost late for your train - very exciting. - Climb the stairs of the Eiffel Tower (ugh, it's tough, but I remember it) then have wine and cheese in the park on the lawn to cap it off. Relating to too many things, I have 5 large moving boxes of photo albums from my parents along and a few trinkets here and there. Fortunately me and my siblings had no arguments in the distribution or tossing of just about everything. The photo albums are being scanned slowly but surely.
