The other day after paying $4+ dollars for gas I was surfing the internet pricing out a new hyrbid car. Not that I am buying a car right now, but I was fed up with the price of gas. Well, I like leather seats in my car. So I was also looking at the price of upgrading from a standard package to a package that included leather seats. Around this same time I had a potential client balk at the price of an estate planning package that would meet all of their goals and protect their children.
Then it struck me, to upgrade from a cloth package to a leather package in a car was actually less than an estate plan for this family that would protect their children from creditors, predators, bankruptcy, the children themselves while also putting the affairs of the parents in order, avoiding the 3%-5% cost of probate, and many other benefits. All for less cost then the 7 years you will be driving a new car to experience leather seats. Mind boggling when you think about it.
It's odd what people value and what people say they value.
