Never worried about money and never thought of saving some. As I grew older <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and learned about &#039;real&#039; life from friends or colleagues, I started to appreciate more for what I have been given in life so far. Of course, I still love spending money. But in late 2010, instead of buying depreciating stuffs (some are useless really!), such as designer clothes or fancy up-to-date electronics, I started to buy stamps for my collection. While I was discussing about my stamp collection with a staff at my local post office about the flags of our nation series, the lady told me about State Quarter coins. From there onward, I started to collect any coins that I am interested in, be them clad, silver, gold or platinum. So now, I got to spend my money (can&#039;t get rid this bad habit really <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) but at the same time, I am collecting money![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
