<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7323924, member: 26302"]We are all in different places financially, and do the best with what we have. Honestly, if I were making $40k a year OP I would not consider an aureus, heck I would not consider any coin over $30 until you have no credit card debt, 4-6 months value of expenses in the bank, puts in at a bare minimum enough 401k to get the company match, and have bought a house. If you are not finished with your education do that as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are not an investment. Doing the things I mention will be your best long term investment in yourself, not a coin. I was where you are now, I used to buy junk morgans for a coin fix because they were just $6-7 and that was all I could afford reasonably at the time. Now, 30 years after graduating college I can afford aureus' if I wanted too, but still put "real money" in investments instead. always just use hobby money, money you can afford to lose, for your entertainment. that dollar amount will change over the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
