Amazed at his sudden flurry of activity, I asked a mutual friend of ours how he did it because this fella practically lives paycheck to paycheck and is an absolute hoarder. My buddy informed me that our friend cashed in a substantial chunk of a 401k. A lot of people have multiple sources of income and investment to help them retire. This guy doesn't, and from what I can see he has no back up plan. If he ever plans on retiring, he will have to sell a ton of his collection to do it. Like I said, he is a hoarder of the first rate. You have it under control, you have a plan. Relax and execute your plan when you are ready. |
Some of you may have thought the same thing about me if you've seen some of my posts over the last couple of months. I am by no means a rich man, but have picked up some nice cards recently. 52 Mantle, 51 Bowman Mantle, 14 CJ Wagner, 33 Ruth, etc. The focus of my collection shifted and I have sold off quite a few already. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
