Who Supports You the Most?

Those of us in this fascinating hobby often require support from others to participate in our interests. As a YN, my parents are the main supports for me. But I am curious: who supports you the most? Is it your spouse, parents, friend, employer, etc?
Have a nice day!

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
My dad influenced me.
Certain board members have been mentors and/or friends.
But I am my own supporter.

BINGO! +1
Me, myself and I. We make an alright team.
I pay my own way. But more importantly, if it wasn't for several people in the business that watch my back, I would have stopped collecting many years ago.

Myself. I have never had any 'support' for this hobby.... my wife tolerates it, just not interested in coins. Even when I was a kid... it was me alone... my kid brother was not interested, my parents not interested...although my Dad had a few Morgans and German coins in his bureau drawer... he never did anything with them...nor did he express interest in any coins I found. Although, one memorable day, when I showed him a '55 DDO, he did say "You should keep that, it will be worth something one day in the future.".....
Cheers, RickO
No one. My wife actually hates my hobby and wants me to sell everything.
God, my job and wallet!
I am a so called YN. None in my age group even knows anything about numismatics. Most like minded people that i talk to about coins are 30yrs older than me!
My cat. He's very supportive, so long as the treats keep coming.
me.
I have a lot of friends on here and in person. We are all collectors so we have common interests. Even my two older brothers like coins so it makes collecting more fun for sure.
My YouTube Channel
Researchers and authors have made collecting much more enjoyable for me. It is great to know the people, processes, and other facts that enabled the coins to be minted.
when I first stated my dad was my support and encouragement, now it is all on my shouders.
My wife thinks it's just another odd hobby.
Thank full she is supportive.
Mostly I do small deals for Ebay and cherry picking so it technically supports itself along with adding found money.
Someday, I will pursue it as a true second income opportunity.
My biggest fan is my son. He is 35 years old and a very sharp man. He alone has inspired me to be the best I can be. We love each other so much I can not put it into words how beautiful our relationships is. I love my son more than word can express.
Just me - wife would put it all out on eBay at 99c opening bid.
Employers - are u kidding? Keep y coin biz to yourself!
Coin collecting has been listed as an example of an obsessive, repetitive behavior on dating sites warning women about dating men with AS.

The man in the mirror. Any mistakes, or, missteps and it's all on him. Pretty simple that way- we're a good team.
@TopographicOceans
Therefore I support your hobby

My wife has always been my # 1 supporter when I did coins back in the 1980's and from the 1990's - present that I have been doing baseball cards.

My wife loves it when it's time to sell.
Without the few good friends I've made through this board, it wouldn't be fun at all and I might have quit by now.
Now it's time to go pull a few more whales with my trout rod.

Me..... but my wife tolerates it.
Actually, having just sold about half of my collection (for a modest profit) she's seeing all this madness in a more favorable light.
All the YN's in my family. They say, "Go Papa Go!" They, are my biggest fans and my inspiration. God bless them all.
Just me. My wife kids and basically everyone I know could care less about coins. Which begs the question are coins a smart investment?
American Express
Out of all seriousness, no one. It's just something I do on the side from time to time.
Maybe they'll pay more attention to them later. Like when I'm dead and they are selling them. Haha
