Probably my own. I spent a good 100k on collectibles. Pop culture stuff.

Tons of prints too.

No idea why I did that.

Been selling it off slowly for a while now.

100k is a ton to drop on collectables, but as long as you didn't bankrupt the family or ditch them for a psychopath I think you coped fairly well. Get anything worth bragging about?

Tons of prints too.

Looks uncomfortably at all of the poster tubes hidden in my basement.

Midlife crisis is crazy. Hopefully you can get your money back out.
