You paid "what" for "that"?

Does anyone else consider their hobby coins against other things that one has to pay for.
Say, when one is getting a new set of tires for your light truck. That's like putting a Liberty Eagle on my truck.
Property Taxes? That's like one really nice double eagle sent to the county.
A new, fancy kitchen remodel? A leading registry set.
Plumbing problem needs to be fixed? Gotta throw a few Wiener Medals at that.
Anyone else play this little game?

Actually, I play the game in reverse. The $1,400 I just dropped on a 1920-S Buffalo nickel could have purchased a couch and side chair. Clearly I need to get me priorities in order.

Reason for concern?
Whenever I spend money on something other than coins, I imagine what kind of coin I could have purchased with the same amount of money.
It's depressing, sometimes

I usually think like this as well...
<< <i>How many packs of ciggies for a silver eagle? >>
That brings back a lot of memories of when I quit if I remember right the first year bought almost a whole registry set.
Now I have an idea why I have so many of them now.
Going on fourteen years the first of the year.
Let's hope that a college education truly pays off in the long run...

Maybe I'm a little screwed up but I'd rather have the truck.
As for comparing hobby coins with other 'necessities' which are purchased?
No, I never do this.
Otherwise I'd have a new truck!
