I am not a wealthy man but I own a very modest home and a small office building in a town of less than 1,000 people where I grew up, lived and worked as self employed for decades.. and I own a 25 year old truck...I have no debt and have savings from my 40 years of hard work...I could get a nicer home, quit my self employed job and get a new truck but I choose not to because I am satisfied with what I have...I have been collecting for 50+ years and have been fortunate enough to accumulate a nice collection...to each his own but I don't want more real estate that brings more tax bills, utility bills, maintenance bills, insurance bills, things to tend to etc. If I had 1.3 million dollars burning a hole in my pocket I would see that my family and close friends have what they need and what is left over I would splurge on baseball stuff that I like...and I like all sorts of oddball stuff...it would be spread out to acquire lots and lots of stuff...especially stuff that makes a nice display with a story attached...I can be satisfied with cheap stuff to 4 figure stuff as I have never paid more than several thousand dollars for an item including my Hoblitzell no stats to complete my T205 set many years ago ...I can honestly say without hesitation that even having unlimited Bill Gates money would not tempt me to spend 7 figures on one item
