Words of wisdom to live by!

I can attest that while that's my goal, I sometimes fail, particularly when the item in question is high on my list of items I can't live without.

But at the same time, I'm usually pretty good about controlling myself and letting items go. If for no other reason than eventually the price just gets so high that my resources are no longer sufficient.

That and I'm not going to borrow and/or tap my retirement funds to get it. And 99.99% of my collection is not for sale, so selling something to cover the cost is also not going to get me there. Although for a lot of people, these may be possible strategies to expand our means.
