Friends? Not hard, really...

A poignant reflection on how we define legacy. Meaning isn’t just passed down through direct lineage or material heirlooms, but through the communities we nurture, ideas we share, and the lives we touch along the way. Beautifully written. ✨🌱

I'll have them thanks

Materialistic people are shitty humans

You'll be dead. You won't care.

Make some friends and make a will.

Mmm that’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently too.

What a fucking waste of column inches. I don’t have kids. My plan is to die in as much personal debt as humanly possible!

I think many of us already give stuff away whilst we are still alive. For various reasons. Moving house. It's just stuff. I don't have kids either, but have niece and nephew. They will get most of my stuff. Sent something today to a good cause. You don't need as much stuff as you think.

I came into the world with nothing, and I still have most of it left. Free to a good home…

Winner

you won't be able to give it away, ask me how I know.

the semi-random act of kindness : my friend, long-term on health benefits, was friendly but not too friendly with our retired librarian friend who, when she died, left her the house and the money - a last life-changing act

Why should anyone? When I'm dead, I'm not gonna care what happens to my stuff. They can tip it all into the bin for all I care, because I won't be here. Enjoy the people and things you have and care about now, because you won't be around to do so when you're dead.

Nobody who didn't know your mother is going to cherish an heirloom. Almost regardless of whether they're related. This seems like an article commissioned to justify a completely fabricated premise. Oh it's Guardian "culture".

I'll take the owl candlestick.

But which one? I can think of a few charity idiots.

Stop doing the Onion's job

Same as those with children - charity shops, 2nd hand furniture markets and the dump. Sorry, but that’s basically it.

Never stop buying records!

I miss them. Although happy to get the room back. There is nothing as nice as the sound of a new record coming out of a sleeve, but no one would love them like me, so it made no sense to keep them for others. But I’d buy more if I could justify owning “things”
