I have to say that stuff like this irks the snot out of me. If a person spends money on toys and or things that they like ... they will always have those things... they will have that reminder of what they did with that money forever. But that makes them "weird" Or "Lifeless" or "loosers" I know..my own flesh and blood have told me that on more times than I can count!But if a person goes out, wastes money on drinks, and drugs, or drives wild or spends their whole paycheck on going out and partying.. they are considered normal ... I DON'T GET IT!!HOW in the name of Celestia does acting like a fool and having nothing to show for it later.. make you more of an adult then plunking down the occasional five bucks for something that you will have for the rest of your life... can show off... and will increase in value? I think the people who say this stuff about collectors need to get THEIR heads screwed on straight. cus frankly .. you all are the weird ones.
I think that might have been me LOL! Yeah it was pretty horrific at the time but then I decided (with the help of fab pony peeps here) that they're are SO not worth it! If they're taking time to make nasty comments about others who they don't even know then they're the saddos (and worse thing I can't say on here ) Sarah xx
Honestly this is exactly how my family (at this point mainly just my brother) reacts to my collection. My brother gets angry at me anytime I get a package and will throw it around, yell at me, and talk about how I need mental help or have a bunch of problems... just because I spend a little money on toys. The amount he and my parents spend on cigarettes, beer, and similar things in a week is more than I spend on ponies in a month, but I'm the one who needs help... Hmmm....I always hate seeing happy collectors show the world their things and then get shot down and insulted like that. How dare we spend money on things that make us happy, right!!? Having a hobby and making yourself smile is suuuuch a waste of money! /sarcasm.Hugs all around! I'm so glad there's a friendly community here where no one is getting shamed for *gasp* enjoying something!
Haters gonna hate. They don't just hate collectors, they hate lots of things and people. They spend their lives looking for the bad and finding it. I'm so happy I'm not them and I do feel sorry for 90% of people. I'm so glad for this community
