[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4516465, member: 10461"]Cool. For my part, since last year I have resolved to stay within a self-imposed $500 limit even on those very rare occasions when I have more than that to spend, or stuff to trade in. I just decided that that particular budgetary ceiling still offered me plenty of room for fun stuff, while keeping me more sensibly within my means. Unfortunately this means Flowing Hair coins and Bust dollars and now even any US gold bigger than a quarter-eagle (let alone the Roman gold aureus I've always wanted) are out of reach, but I savor the challenge of finding fun stuff within my set range. Honestly, these days I more often stay under $250 and even under $100 quite often. Stuff like that 1806 half I just posted above represents what is now the upper end of my newer, more austere limits. That will sound like peanuts to some here. To others, it will sound like a lot. I reckon I've always been kind of intermediate.[/QUOTE]
