<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1428443, member: 13650"]I don't like this situation. It sounds to me like you need to put on the brakes and think about it a little more. Any time I hear about someone selling coins to create a short term fix, I have to wonder what the long term result will be. You can't control her job situation. If you sell a bunch of your collection in a rush (at possibly a loss) to cover her car this month, what will she do next month? Or 6 months from now? If she ends up losing the car 6 months from now anyway and you sold a bunch of your stuff so she could have it for one more month, I would think you're not going to be a happy camper. </p><p><br /></p><p> I can't even get myself to sell coins to pay for other hobbies where I would benefit myself! lol I always find an excuse for why something can't be sold, like a hoarder. When stuff comes up, I pretty much treat it like the collection does not exist. </p><p> My other hobby is trying to keep enough cash and credit on hand so that I don't need to sell anything for whatever comes up. Some spend every last dime on their collection and then have to sell the moment a car repair comes up or they need a new appliance. I won't do it because I don't want to sell my 'real' money.</p><p><br /></p><p> Good luck with this though. I believe you need to think longer term. Not just this month. We don't need to know but I'm left to wonder what the cause of the separation is about? She had a place to live. Did you initiate this and now you feel guilty? If she initiated it, I wouldn't sell a penny. Also, if she lets the bank know what's going on it may buy her some time, depending on the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
