    Quick question for everyone... a little off the beaten path. Do you include your pinball collection in your overall net worth? And why?

    Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:

    I don't even think of my net worth. In what context is this? Could be several avenues.
    If I was forced to do a net-worth evaluation for insurance purpose, or if I was making a will, yeah I guess I'd have to? If I'm just evaluating for the same of evaluating, I probably wouldn't bother unless my collection got over 10k.
    Never thought about it before.

    The wife and I track our net-worth a couple times a year, just like we get a check-up at the doctor every year. Our advisor told us the other day to include collectibles, including my pinball and arcade games when calculating our net-worth. I've never done that. Just curious if anyone else in the hobby is doing that.

    Quoted from Steve_in_Escalon:

    Pinball machines are assets and, depending on the market, can be considered a liquid asset. Having said that, I don’t discuss my finances with anyone, so what would it matter?

    Sorry. Just looking for advice. Not looking to pry. My bad if it comes off that way.
