$100 Affordable For Some, Expensive To Others

I enjoy most of my magazines and running a magazine is expensive so I understand why they publish some of the articles they do. I was just a little irritated at what was recommended for a low budget collector in just this one article and noticed it is common when discussing "affordable" in most mags.

I agree there are other options to help collectors and the internet is a great sounding board and valuable resource. There are even some members here at CCF who already do this for free with sites they maintain (like coppercoins.com) but maybe not to this exact focus... cool,I think you gave me some ideas for changes to my own site. Thanks

I would think your not recognizing that many people that write articles, books, documents are just like the weather people. No idea of what is really going on in the world. Ever notice how many people say about the weather people why not just look out the window, dummy? Same with people that write articles for coin magnazines or anything that they have limited knowledge about. NO, I don't mean they don't know coins, they just don't know people. If they are in a family that totals over $100,000/year, they just can not understand why you don't have $100 for coins. Remember Enron? There was an interview with one of the big shots wives and she said why is everyone making such a fuss. We too have it bad. We had to sell many of our condos. If you too had a few millions, you would or could write a stupid article about how everyone should be able to spend a few lousy thousand dollars a month on coins. A friend of mine's wife that has it fairly good with money just couldn't figure out why I spent so much time working on my car. She said if it has a problem, just go out and buy a new one. Same principle. No common CENTS.
Don't get mad at people that write articles like that, just move on or you'll just end up with an ulcer and they will never understand why you aren't rich.
