So I have been going over this in my mind for a few days now trying to figure out what the best course of action is. I like most people now days have a fair amount of debt and am finding it harder and harder to keep up with it. Each month brings stress on hopping that I have enough each month to pay them off and have some money left over. I could sell a bunch of my guns and wipe out the debt. I have a good collection of gun, bunch of Millsurps, a few belt fed and a bunch of non "normal" guns, I like guns that are different. I have guns that I haven't shot in 5-10 years, but I still like them. I am more of a collector than a shooter. I have bought guns that I like or thought that where cool, shot them ones or twice and then not shoot them again, there they sit in the safe. I think I like the fact that I have all these cool and interesting guns but I don't do much with them. What i have been thinking the past few days is it worth it to have all these guns and be stress out and in debt or get rid of a bunch of them and not have to worry about money as much. Would I truly miss them? I have gotten rid of some guns that I thought I wouldn't get rid of and thought I would miss them but I haven't really overly missed them. Sure I would like to have them again but I don't need to have them. If I got out of debt then I could do other things that I enjoy. I like old cars ( I guess i don't like cheap hobbies) and have had a bunch of them too, I currently don't have a fun car at the moment. With something like that I could use more I think. Thinking about sell them seems easy but when it comes to doing it , it might be harder. I think about if I sold them how hard it would be to get them back at the price I paid for them. The question is do I really need to buy them again. When I move to NH from MA I sold a bunch of hard to find guns in MA to keep them in MA. I though that I would just re-buy them when I got to NH. 10 year later I still haven't re-bought them yet, and I don't really miss them. I think I liked the fact that I had a collection of guns that where hard to get in MA. I think it would be hard a first to rid myself of some of my guns but over time I don't think I would care as much if I had them or not. I guess as I am getting older I'm looking at my life and what I want to live it like. Do I want to have a bunch of stuff that I like but don't do anything with or do I want to turn it into money and get out of debt and have less stress? You never know when you are going to die, could be tomorrow, could be 50 years from now, I don't want to work just to pay bills, there should be more to life than just that. Who knows maybe I'm going through a mid life crises. Sorry for the stream of consciousness writing, just wondering if anyone else has gone through this and if so what they did you do and how it affected you, good or bad.
