<p>[QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 23501, member: 1141"]Isn't collecting coins kind of like paying for life insurance every month? I mean, would coin collecting/investing be just as good as life insurance? You pass away, your wife or relative receives the coins, and are able to sell them.... And isn't it just so much more fun to see what your actually spending your money on. Life insurance decreases once you get older, if i'm not mistaken, but, with coins, in most cases, they only grow in value, as you grow old. </p><p><br /></p><p>Medical insurance:</p><p>Same basic stuff applies, except one thing.</p><p>You go through your whole life never visiting a doctor, never really needing the medical attention throughout your lifespan, all your money you COULD HAVE SPENT ON COINS <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Is now just poof, gone, no coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Retirement funds:</p><p>What if you don't make it to retirement, see the life insurance description.

[QUOTE="Pennycase, post: 23501, member: 1141"]Isn't collecting coins kind of like paying for life insurance every month? I mean, would coin collecting/investing be just as good as life insurance? You pass away, your wife or relative receives the coins, and are able to sell them.... And isn't it just so much more fun to see what your actually spending your money on. Life insurance decreases once you get older, if i'm not mistaken, but, with coins, in most cases, they only grow in value, as you grow old. Medical insurance: Same basic stuff applies, except one thing. You go through your whole life never visiting a doctor, never really needing the medical attention throughout your lifespan, all your money you COULD HAVE SPENT ON COINS :D Is now just poof, gone, no coins. Retirement funds: What if you don't make it to retirement, see the life insurance description. All that money into your retirement , and you are gone before you get there, what do you have to show for it? Workers comp: You eventually pay it back in the long run, but, if you would have spent your money on coins, you get sick, you have no medical insurance, you don't go to the doctors, you are fired from your job, well, you wouldn't have had to do that, you've been investing your money into coins, therefor, you always have a backup when you need the money. Well, it's now 7:40 A.M. Time for me to hit the bed :D Thanks for reading my incoherrent rambles, and feel free to post[/QUOTE]
