<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2422151, member: 67527&quot;]I hear and see all the arguments for and against investing into coins for retirement or for a suitable investment.&nbsp; Obviously, one should diversify their money for when they do retire. I think if you do your research you can use coins as a means of making money when you retire; maybe.&nbsp; Saying this, I love collecting coins for the pure sense of the joy of collecting.&nbsp; If I happen to make money when I reach retirement then so be it; if I don&#039;t I feel the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I would rather enjoy spending my days until I retire collecting coins I love then worrying about whether I will make money doing so.&nbsp; I hope that when I do finally retire I would have invested in other means of capital such as stocks, bonds, Roth IRA&#039;s, CD&#039;s, personal savings, etc.&nbsp; Sometimes I personally feel that the numismatic community forgets why we started collecting coins, paper money, bullion, etc in the first place.&nbsp; The last time I checked; for me at least, it was for the pure joy of acquiring the coins that I love and will pass on to my children. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I do understand that solely investing in coins as your top portfolio goal is foolish as the markets are very unstable and volatile.&nbsp; If you have the time to do the research and carefully studying the market then maybe you will succeed. Someone wise once told me that &quot;we are only the caretakers of the coins we collect; until someone else becomes the next caretaker&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
