<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 909191, member: 16060&quot;]I don&#039;t have a whole lot of time to post here much anymore.&nbsp; A lot of members here by now have probably never seen me post at all.&nbsp; I really don&#039;t have the time to post now, but I couldn&#039;t let this go by.</p><p><br /></p><p>One would have to be blind or unable to read English to not be aware for whatever reason some definitely have a larger coin budget than others.&nbsp; It may be something like Lehigh pointed-out with the kid thing (I have 3 and I think they each eat Lehigh&#039;s $10,000 budget), it could be someone also has a boat they&#039;re paying for,&nbsp; they aren&#039;t good at managing their money, or many different reasons as to what the &quot;coin budget&quot; is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a little sensitve to things like this when I read them because of my being retired military.&nbsp; Only if you are also retired military would you understand how tired you get of hearing how lucky one is to have the benefits and retirement.&nbsp; Also, it usually comes up if I would get them some cigarettes or groceries the next time I go to the Commissary.&nbsp; If they keep going on and on, or if I&#039;m in a bad mood, I ask them if they were in the military.&nbsp; If they tell me &quot;yes&quot; I tell them they should have stayed in.&nbsp; If they weren&#039;t I tell tem they should have joined up.&nbsp; I tell you luck had nothing to do with any of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone, I think Jack, talk about opportunity.&nbsp; This could be a whole subject its self , but just let me say this.&nbsp; Many people expect an &quot;opportunity&quot; to fall in their lap.&nbsp; This rarely happens, one has to go out and grab the opportunity.&nbsp; Opportunity usually entails a committment and dedication to see it through.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll pick on Paul here some.&nbsp; Does he buy more expensive coins than I do?&nbsp; Yes, he certainly does, and I think it is great for him.&nbsp; A big part of this is because I like the guy, and the&nbsp; other is I&#039;m happy with myself and where I am in life.&nbsp; I&#039;ll go out on limb here and say noone enjoys coin collecting more than me.&nbsp; But, my family, home, and vacationing come first. I can also tell you I am just as proud of my collection as he is of his, and that is the way it should be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Go to a sports bar on any important game night.&nbsp; I guaremtee you there will be a vast variety of careers, incomes, and education levels present.&nbsp; That is life and it is part of the American way.&nbsp; When I read something like this I can&#039;t help but think the negative aspect comes from one not happy with self. If you are not, go grab an opportunity and change it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
