I am really hard on myself when i do that. Typically i make 1 or 2 big purchases every week. 100..200...depends on my bills that week. I like to keep a little money available so i can look at cheaper coins until next payday.....so like 40 50 dollar Kreuzers or whatever. This way I can still feed my fix for a few days looking at coins. Sometimes i have to put some money aside because i want a 600 example of something...so only spend x this week.....not always successful with that. I bulk on big purchases as well. But whatta you do? Thats a good problem to have dont worry much about that.... but if you spend to much ...not a problem you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
