Ok, the rest of my post... This has helped me
somewhat. Well, I've started to really think over
what I really want in my cels for one. If I look
at a cel and well, my first thought is, "Would I
resell it if I HAD to-if that came down to it?
(not for profit, say a dream cel popped up and I
sold some of my cels to make up for it sorta
case:) if I say to myself "NEVER...will it be
sold!" then will go after it with all my heart. I
want to collect only those cels that are dear to
my heart and never will be sold in a haste of
needing money-something I've done a lot in the
past and somewhat now, but trying to change my
habits to help myself. It does help a lot, well
for me to think that way and get into some type
of mind set and system. "Do I really need this?"
I've been weaving out my collection like that
selling the cels that are not glued to my butt,
that I don't adore and just going after the ones
I fall in love at first sight, those cels that
make you scream and cry at the same time. If I
don't have a reaction, then well...won't usualy
buy it, or if it's not that cel in my wishlist
gallery, won't go for it. I TRY...it's hard, but
well, it's a struggle to sometimes let things
pass to others who might desire it, and make them
happy when you still have the money and a dream
cel might pop up if you do! I tend to take my
time and think about it a lot before buying if I
can, and it helps on my funds, patience, my poor
heart, my nerves and well, other emotions that
come with this hobby. Saving up a kitty on the
side away from other funds helps too. A fund that
only goes towards cels and nothing else and
taking the rest of a paycheck and well, monies
and mulla management. It can be hard when a dream
cel pops up and you need money, but if you have a
kitty aside with funds, it makes life a lot
easier and your poor heart can rest. I plan ahead
of time with funds before anything shows up in
case it does and 90% of the time, it does. This
has changed my life GREATLYT and well, I am less
nervous in this hobby in that part of collecting.
So that I don't overspend and go deeper in debt
than I already am. -_-;; That debt was made a few
years BEFORE collecting...scarry... I got into a
system after buying cels, I build that kitty
right back up and so far, it works for me! Just
bought cels, and I've never spent that much money
since my last dream cel. I could have bought a
hnaken cel or two for the money I spent this last
month, but oh well. The good thing I had money
off to the side already set for bills. As for
everything else that comes with cel collecting, I
have set up other plans so I can have an easy cel
collecting hobby. If anyone wants to hear other
things I've done to make it easier, might post a
link to the helpful hints. Heh. As for time and
staying up late, checking every few minutes, god,
I'm an insomniac and abit obsessive with that at
times, and don't go to bed till 5-am to get the
updates, but well, I can hardly sleep anyway and
wish I did...but think that will never change.
^_^ Peace fellow cel people!
