Jim- the 75 bit is probably approximately true overall. I am allmost 71 and really quit spending (defined as buying "stuff") a long time ago. I have collected art and antiques most of my life and enjoy what I have and don't go all over the world chasing stuff anymore. Never wanted a truck and still don't; I may get one m ore shotgun, maybe not - I really like the ones I have already; my wife and I may build a new house but that's sort of different - relatively few serious collectors keep going in old age; there just isn't enough time left to worry about acquisitions.
Gnomon:
I not there yet and the thrill of the chase is still very much with me. I just got back from a couple of sales about an hour ago. My collectibles firearms,militaria etc. are slated to go to the grandchildren.
Jim
