<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 507597, member: 15110"]This is a GREAT POST. I think often how crazy I am and have used cc's to pay for my coins. That is dumb, and the definition of being an addict. I have recently decided that shortly I will sell off my numismatic mistakes, and stricly buy coins that are graded or that will definitely grade by PCGS or NGC, and payback those cc bills more aggressively. This makes me want to quit when I think about spending on coins beyond my means with silly rationalizations. My buying has recently gone down accordingly as I will only buy coins I clearly, and easily can afford. Having problem coins that give me angst makes me want to quit, because I get obsessive and that is not fun. My wife said she like when I first got into coins and not so much now. In fact, the kids said the same thing. This site has actually helped me buy less coins, and learn more before I buy- which would have saved me a lot of angst and money had I done this before I bought quite a few coins. Buy the book before the coins right?. So I think about quiting when I am unbalanced, like posting 5 x a day or spending too much money. When I look at my photos of my coins, and chat with others I enjoy it immensley. Very conflicted here, but I am sure will never stop and never plan on selling except to upgrade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
