[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8126126, member: 118780"]This is probably a better subject for a different thread, but I do admit to feeling guilty at times. Recently, my younger son needed a tripod and video head for a film project. Since he's applying for film school, I decided to just buy him one. When he saw the price he was so thankful and will use it for many years. The tripod is of immense value to him, even though it costs less than some of my coins. We own several apartment buildings. A lot of our tenants live paycheck to paycheck, and have difficulties coming up with $400 for rent at times. For us, $400 isn't a lot of money, but for many people it is. For me, personally, I just try to remember how lucky I am to be able to afford coins and recognize that what I spend is a lot of money for people. On the other hand, I feel that I've worked hard to achieve this, so I [I]shouldn't[/I] feel guilty. Still, I'm working to try to give back in small ways, such as creating a web site with my coins in the hope of passing on some of the passion I have for the history behind them to others.[/QUOTE]
