My wise Uncle Ed, a self employed lawyer, a multi millionaire, a collector of vast hunting properties, a cigar aficionado, a lover of the finest Cognac, a collector of the finest cars, a womanizer who had the tallest top heavy blondes on his arm and a man who had a firearm collection that took up two rooms in his hunting lodge......said to me just a week before he died suddenly.....
"Joey, all the stuff is crap. When you get old if you can wake up in the morning, take a good sh*t and a good p*ss, you consider yourself a success" And that is how I live...I have stuff, but don't worship it. Excuse me, the head is calling.

My "toys" are just that, toys. I play with them, maintain them and so forth.
I also allow and like when my friends play with them. They're also an investment. If I were to drop dead tomorrow, my wife could sell them, bury me with the money she makes, and have some left over. For safety or EDC I depend on two or three of them.

Uncle Ed was a wise man indeed. As you age or have unexpected medical issues, "stuff" is just "stuff" and you realize all your life a good bowel movement was unappreciated.
In all seriousness, gun collections are entertaining to look and show friends and it gives you something to do (maintaining) but, after the three or so you really need for protection it all becomes something for the wife to sell some day when you are gone. The girls just outlive us, it you don't believe it, go to a nursing home and look around.

When my heart went berserk my vehicles got dispersed, as well as properties. When I got my diabetes confirmation I went over the gun distribution with my kids and we made a specific list. Now I'm piss broke, I have to ask my wife which car I can use to drive to which property I USED to own, and my kids keep telling me to clean what were my guns. Go figure.
