This weekend, a book and a movie I watched featured an heirloom watch passed down through generations. A thought struck me: there are no mementos or heirlooms in modern life.
The most common types of things people pass down through generations are furniture, art, and jewelry. You can’t pass down an Apple Watch Series 7. Nor will my Ikea furniture hold up for generations to come.
Do I need to be considering the “heirloom-worthy” value of purchases these three categories?
