If I have some cool, older notes hanging around, it usually makes me think twice, before spending that money on some frivolous thing. It makes me stop and say, would I rather have this note, or would I rather spend it.

[QUOTE="jlg1130, post: 1459095, member: 26655"]I agree with t-bud, for the most part. Setting strap finds, and circ finds aside, is a good way to save money, and that is one reason why I collect. If I have some cool, older notes hanging around, it usually makes me think twice, before spending that money on some frivolous thing. It makes me stop and say, would I rather have this note, or would I rather spend it. The note usually wins out. :D It's also a good emergency fund....and by emergency, I mean a matter of life and death. It gives me peace of mind to know I have that money there, should something very serious come up, and in the meantime, I can enjoy the notes. There are a few notes I have that I'm quite fond of, though, and would [U][B]never[/B][/U] spend. When I'm old and grey, and my time here is done, I intend on passing those down to my kids, if I have them, or my nieces and nephews. I also collect/save notes because I just flat out enjoy the hobby. I find it to be a lot of fun. I always get kind of a mini rush, whenever I find an older note, a star, or an interesting serial number, and it almost always makes my day. So, those are my reasons. :yes:[/QUOTE]
