The thing that usually kills me is that many of these questions come from women who spend $500 on a purse or $150 on a pair of shoes or $300 on a dress.

Or else guys who spend $200/week at the bar, or blow a grand at the casino in one night.

Yes! This is my reasoning, especially the drinking part.

I get alot of people that I work with come up to me and say "I collected cards when I was a kid (late 80's/early 90s) and have a bunch of Shaq RCs. Are they worth anything? Or people will ask me help in putting a value on what they have.

Exactly, at least I got a few thousand cards for my $200/week. All he got was a headache, bad memories and a DUI. Last I checked, you couldn't sell any of those on eBay.

My GF once asked me,"How much wealth do you have tied up in your collections?" I have to admit that was a new phrasing.

That's something I don't like answering. You get with the wrong woman, she'll want half of them if she leaves. Or just take them.

I've told Theresa that if she ever thinks that or wants to try something like that, I worked at a cemetery and the last place they look for a dead body is up there.

Lol. I guess it's a good idea for a pre-nup then huh? People get awfully weird sometimes. Seen it happen.
