When my grandfather died, they would have sold his library, but Mother put her foot down and we had it sent to us instead. Simply mailing it cost (us) more than €1000 - a sum wonderfully outside my experience of directly spending—and on the border we had to unload the boxes and show the books to customs officers. Grampa’d really liked his swashbucklers, too, so the officers were probably impressed… Anyway, that day I learned to enjoy as much as possible out of buying experiences, helping others, and paying now—consuming later… It just helps, ok?:)
