[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 7721478, member: 112342"]Last year I got really interested in ancients and spent so much in accumulating 100+ coins that nearly dried up my savings, but this year I've seriously dialed back on my purchases and focused on coins that I really like to have in my collection, even then I painstakingly wait nearly a month before pulling the trigger, and save some more money in the meanwhile. And when I finally decide to buy it, I just can't bring myself to spend the money I've been saving up so I ultimately loose interest on some coins and move on to others :( So far my range of purchases have been around 50-100 bucks, with more than $100 once or twice a year if I have some 'excess cash', and the most I've ever spent on a single coin was a couple of years ago on an unc 1915 Perth mint Sovereign from the money I got for my birthday. I'm just wondering how do you fit your coin purchases into your budget? Do you take some from your savings to buy coins or do you separately have some money just for coins and hobbies? If you are in a relationship, how do you manage it then?[/QUOTE]
