<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1394241, member: 13650&quot;]Hmm.&nbsp; It was never that hard for me.&nbsp; Considering the fact that it takes $70 to fill my gas tank.&nbsp; $100 will buy a *sticker* (license that I DO NOT want) for my license plate that I get to scrape off and buy another next year.&nbsp; Oh yeah, we get to buy two of those a year.&nbsp; In 10 years, there&#039;s 2 grand worth of state issued stickers scraped off onto the ground.&nbsp; Up in smoke.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I have to spend over $400 on insurance a month (that I never use) just in case something happens.&nbsp; There goes $4800 a year up in smoke.&nbsp;&nbsp; It cost $65 just to do my taxes online, MYSELF.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; For all the crap you&#039;re forced to waste money on and get nothing out of over a lifetime, I have absolutely no regrets buying anything for any hobby that I enjoy.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m more upset over all the ways other people/government agencies force me to spend money on stuff I don&#039;t want.&nbsp;&nbsp; May as well throw the cash in a pile and light a match.&nbsp;&nbsp; At least with a coin, you actually HAVE something.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure at the current time, I get to spend about 5% of my annual income on hobbies and most of the rest goes to bills.&nbsp; I don&#039;t lose a second of sleep over any coin purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; To the OP, there&#039;s no point in being jealous.&nbsp; All collectors are at countless different levels in what they are able to do.&nbsp; Somebody always has more.&nbsp; Somebody has always been collecting longer than someone else.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like seeing what other people have and don&#039;t feel like I have to own everything I see.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes it&#039;s good to take a break and appreciate what you have.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how old you are but usually as you get older, if you play your cards right, you will have more disposable income.&nbsp; &nbsp; Just buy what you&#039;re comfortable with.&nbsp;&nbsp; I tend to desire coins more than I want the cash, so it&#039;s not difficult for me to buy a coin.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Cash is boring and losing value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
