Looks like it's over for me.

Well, live and learn I always have been told. Let me share (briefly) where I was in life 9 days ago. I was working in the most rewarding job I had ever had, was actively collecting my beautiful coins, had a super new house, had just coached a team of undesireables to a third place finish in a very difficult basketball league, crappy marriage but that's been in the tank since we got married. Today, I lay on my back having been thrown under the bus by my employer, since fired, wife is moving out (only kept me around for the money anyway), I broke my ankle in three places and had emergency surgery for same, am trying to find a job and am seriously contemplating selling my collection. My job, collection and my kids, that's what I used for motivation in waking up each day. Sure I have job prospects but I need quick cash, which points me to one thing, my beloved collection. I really think I have finally hit the wall. I love this way of life but something has to give so I fear my collection has to go. It has been a great run but it does look like I have come to the end of the road. Best wishes to all and I hope none of you have to make a decision like I am seriously weighing. Looks like I am finished.
