[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 1016713, member: 57463"]I sell. It's like Zeno's Paradox, selling half and half and half and still having another half. First I sold the gold... then the silver... now I am selling the numismatics and the books. Selling coins to dealers was easy enough. Selling books means getting a table at a show and setting up. Writing has always been a part-time income, but now that is all I have. I have not had W-2 income in over a year and have not worked steadily in over two years. If we could have afforded to move from Michigan, we would have left back then. I am pretty good at sales: I like meeting people. But I cannot do the "fishes and loaves" -- without material prosperity around me, I can only do so much. I have had some good shows and some other venues. I like the process and I bring home money.
