<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 7724049, member: 19855&quot;]I try to keep my budget to $50-100 a pay period. My wife and I both agreed on that as &quot;Play Money.&quot; If she wants something, we dip into that budget. Granted, sometimes this gets dipped into (such as this last pay when I bought a new electric sprayer....totally worth it!) It is for this reason I try to work on a copper set (my Lincolns), a silver set (my Walking Halves), and a modern set (I haven&#039;t bought a dime since 2014...I&#039;ll confess it here as my priest thought I was abusing his confessional services). In that manner I always have something I can work toward completing. Once a year I attend an Indianapolis coin show and save for it with a separate budget to ensure I can purchase a key date or two. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for adding the relationship into it, there is no adding. My wife is it and her happiness matters most. If that means years without a coin purchase, so be it so long as she is smiling at the end of the day. Thankfully, she is very understanding in letting me have some time to myself to relieve stress with a hobby. Not an investment of any sort...just a hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
