<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 1230214, member: 19765"]Actually I do collect like that somewhat. I suggest you get a grip, we all have to put our foot down on ourselves or we would continually be angry at ourselves which won't help anyone and could put you on a bummer. Collecting stuff like vintage lighters, signs, albums etc you could definitely get your self in trouble quickly. What I do is this, I put away some money, I don't tell my wife about it either cause she will interrupt my thought process and get in the way. Basically she will try to change my mind and I don't have time for the aggravation. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anyways, I put away say $250 or so and I make a deal with myself that no matter what, this $250 will go towards coins and nothing else. If the other part of myself sees something, like the part that collects guitars sees a nice guitar, I will ask myself if I have enough for the guitar. Usually this works for me, not all the time but almost always. </p><p><br /></p><p>This might sound crazy but it's honest. Sometimes I have to look at myself like I'm composed of 2 or 3 different collectors. That makes it easier for me to deal with and as long as I'm focused then everyone's happy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
