Many, many people take breaks and come back. I think this subject is definitely personal to each person and each person has to make their own decisions on priorities and so forth. Many folks have sold stuff because they have had to for whatever reason. If there is a chance they want to come back we usually advise them to only sell things that are fairly replaceable. You being so young have plenty of time. You can easily take a break and come back, and quite honestly, you might want to look at your priorities and see where collecting fits. Maybe you are just putting more time into it, relative to other things that might be important to your long career ahead of you, than you really should be. This is a really good question though and I am going to move it to the front page to solicit some more responses. best regards
