It'll come in useful one-day

I've got an Antarctic stamp (postage stamp) with Princess Diana on it.
I'm waiting to hear its worth trillions, then I'll buy Everton, Messi, Neymar, and any other amount of top of the range players. There'll be no messing with transfers.

Edited, a few race horses too, Derby winners.
 

I have an issue with this. I seriously probably need professional help.

Every time I go to get rid of something I think:

  1. "I'm going to need one of these someday, and boy will I be sorry I got rid 7 years ago"
  2. "I paid xxx for this, I can't just let it go for nothing"
  3. "It's just going to end up in a landfill for 14,000 years or on one of the floating garbage islands in the ocean. I'll just hang onto it then".

The trouble is mate, is that usually you do.
 

Cleared the garage out yesterday, put a crate to one side for stuff to get rid of, found old sony mp3 player, broken, samsung tablet, cracked and also broken, an iron, a kettle, 2 cameras needing film, broken, pens, writing pads, all damp worn and, broken, and a host of other unnecessarily retained stuff over many years, all went in said crate. Said crate was safely stored back in the garage and I can't give a reason as to why...incredibly stupid of me, but the crap is all tidy now.

1. It might. I've got a box full of electrical wires, etc., that Mrs Nigh hates, but when you need a spare HDMI cable it sucks to shill out $30 for a new one
2. Sunk cost fallacy. If you don't want it, get rid
3. For old stuff, see above; but maybe you should think about the sort of stuff you buy new.
