<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 350068, member: 9474&quot;]Spider - </p><p>I&#039;m going to throw in my 2 cents for what its worth. When I went to college, coin collecting wasn&#039;t the first thing on my mind, but I definitely didn&#039;t stop collecting. Now, my parents didn&#039;t have a lot of money so I had to take out loans to pay for my education. While I was in college, I had 2 and sometimes 3 jobs that I held down. The money I made, first and foremost, went to paying the bills and tuition, but I always put away a few dollars for my coins. I wasn&#039;t a big party person so my money wasn&#039;t wasted on beer and other things, but I managed to have fun in school. I even went on and received a Masters Degree... that was 7 long years that I had to be frugal on what I spent on coins. Now, I do have a second mortgage to pay, err, I mean loan to pay back <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, but I also have a great job that I love and pays well. I had been collecting for as long as I could remember and college wasn&#039;t going to stop me. In fact, I purchased some of my nicer coins while I was in school. You just have to be smart about things and don&#039;t get yourself in to trouble with finances (easier said than done!). :whistle: Hopefully, majoring in Finance will put you on the right path. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is one tip - find a local coin shop - when you get free time, go hang out there. As the owner/s get to know you they will cut you deals and help you out as a young collector. Plus, you learn a lot when you are around people that have been collecting for a long time. This is what I did and still do. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS - the tough part is when you have to chose between your coins and a girl! Good luck on that one. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
