[QUOTE="HappyHighway, post: 2400966, member: 78142"]Hey guys, I'm new here on the website and I've been kind of on and off on Coin Collecting for years. Quick backstory: First encounter with coin collecting occurred when I was 13 and my Dad bought me a roll of Mercury Dimes. The exotic nature of old coins intrigued me deeply. My ex didn't like my hobby and the result ended up being no more collection though my current wife fully supports the hobby and I have started building again. I'm just curious on what other people use for budgets when collecting and I know that everybody is probably different. I have this really bad case of ADHD where I buy all kinds of coins. I did manage to complete my IHC Album which is great and would like to work towards a Type Album as well. Currently, I've budgeted $100 per month and that will get me somewhere but I feel like even that's not enough to really get after larger collections. Anyway, I look forward to hearing from everybody. As a side note, I am in the military and currently serving in Germany so I don't have coin shows to attend.
