<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCB1983, post: 1341127, member: 23885&quot;]I know I am young in comparison to many, but feel like I&#039;ve pretty much lived in just about everyone’s shoes.&nbsp; Relate in some way to just about everyone I come across.&nbsp; Except the ones with wisdom, oh and the guy that knows something and has the ability to keep it to himself.&nbsp; Does it make sense to you that it is not about the money, it is about the cents? </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I will not go into stories about where I have been, but monetarily it has been from Antarctica to Greenland.&nbsp; I have been having very strange feelings lately about money.&nbsp; The thing is I have no respect for money whatsoever.&nbsp; I only give it some respect because I have a son and am currently married.&nbsp; Besides the fact that it has numismatic value as a note, it doesn&#039;t seem very important?&nbsp; Shouldn&#039;t it be viewed only as a ticket to fantasies?&nbsp; This sort of thought process started when I was at the Vienna Coin Show.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t haggle with anyone on price.&nbsp; Naturally they gave me a small discount regardless but I felt like the privilege was all mine as the buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The thought process was like this:&nbsp; So sir you mean to tell me that you drove here with all of your gear set this table up with these fine examples of history and you paid money to rent a table?&nbsp; And now you are being so kind as to accept this green piece of paper from me for your VF Bust Quarter?&nbsp; Do you know that this came out of a paper machine?&nbsp; So I ask this question, what is the value of money once we venture across pavlaw&#039;s hierarchy of basic needs?&nbsp; After our basic needs have been met isn&#039;t it about a feeling?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was sitting there in the pawn shop the other day and listening to the haggling.&nbsp; A lot of people walked out happy to receive a small amount of money.&nbsp; The thought process was knee jerk reaction, my god did he get taken to the cleaners.&nbsp; But then I got to thinking.&nbsp; Where will he/she spend that money?&nbsp; How will it make them feel?&nbsp; Why do we pay hundreds of dollars for a coin in a certain grade, but feel upset when the gas prices go up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t it about the cents?&nbsp; Bueler?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
