With HC costs factored in I am now taking home less money then I did when I was in my 20's, am now 55 and am realizing my dreams of retirement are probably not going to happen!!
I make three times what my father did as an Attorney, and I barely make it by, much less security than he ever had.
I have been selling off collectibles for the last 3-5 years to maintain our life and have had to have the internal discussion too many times now of how much do I really want this !!!

Hello Neil,
Sorry to hear you won't be at the National as I would have liked to meet you finally. Hopefully, things will turn around for everyone soon and we'll all go have a beer.
As far as the OP's question, I really don't collect anything but unopened baseball packs these days. Don't have enough disposable money to afford to collect anything else.
