Survey - Hobbies are relaxing

[GW]

Another survey.

 

I went to the doctor last week and my blood pressure is getting high. so I went to walmart and bought a high blood pressure tester. so far so good, still under. but it made me think about what hobbies might be better for me that might be less stressful.

 

- how stressful is your currency collecting experience ?

i like the currency but do find it a pita sometimes. thats where i go back over to the coins. jmo

I vote kind of stressful due to when I have to send a note in to be reholdered or having to worry about off site secure storage...

 

Other than that, no issues...

This may be the cliche of the decade, but "it is what it is", and I voted, not stressful at all.

I truly enjoy the challenges of completion, the pleasure of stewardship, the art and history of paper money, and the camaraderie of the hobby. I'm sure dealers, investors, registry set collectors and plastic chasers look at it completely differently from me, and understandably so.

I chose the somewhat stressful

which means I should relax more

It's been awhile since I've logged on but I just voted somewhat stressful. That's really not accurate because I've found it varies to extremes. From stress relieving joy such as found when opening a package with a note in it that I was looking forward to receiving or taking time to look through the collection, to stress when the blood pressure goes through the roof such as when that expensive previously graded Gem comes back AU and I wonder why am I even doing this.
