<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1416850, member: 24544&quot;]I am not sure it has ever been much different for 18-22 year olds, I think the big change has been a general shift to a consumption based mentality in society at large.&nbsp; If you asked people what is more expensive, a $30 lamp from target or a $1000 Tiffany lamp almost everyone says the Tiffany.&nbsp; In reality, you will replace the target lamp in 2 years and be out $30 but you could have sold the Tiffany in 2 years and probably make money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not to put too fine a point on it, but it was not until around 30 that I finally realized the <i>value </i>of purchasing expensive things, it&#039;s counter intuitive.&nbsp; But once I re-discovered coin collecting as a hobby, I fell back in love for that very reason.&nbsp; Here is a hobby that I get a tremendous amount of happiness out of which could end up costing me nothing in the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
