Was my comment access taken down on my TS swift merch because of my retirement joke 😬and are the lover pajamas real?

I still want to know the answers and also calm down.

Millennial who will retire on some island and live in a Villa on 8 dollars a day in like Costa Rica or Puerto Rico with my Taylor swift stuff.

Life’s too short to give a sh*t about having 2 million in retirement. Our parents screwed us, our government isn’t real, climate is a mess.

I still want to know about your rare pieces, and what you think they’re worth?

Do you display?

Rarest music?

What are you always looking for?

What’s underrated and overpriced?

How did you start collecting?

Are old sigs more valuable than TV?

Show me your displays.

Are the lover pajamas real?

💙I appreciate your financial responsibility and your genuine care for my retirement but I am very hopeless and will buy plane tickets to Japan on a whim because of a discount lol. I do not plan to own a home just a whole lot of expensive stuff. Mostly never worn or touched.

Does anyone live in San Diego? Selling all my tag on Zara, Schutz, Jeffrey Campbell, Aritzia, free people, alo, Joah brown, revolve, Steve Madden, converse, dolls kill, and some extremely cool furniture, decor, art—some custom. Need the space.

Not sure what is allowed in here or not, but I’m trying my luck in what I know is a supportive loving amazing community. ✨💙✨

Millennial retirement on Taylor Swift—experts please: how much will it be worth? Spent an hourrrr writing this post today and can’t find weee!

I wrote this out today and can’t find it so yay! It took me like two hours.

I’m a millennial who started by Taylor Swift stuff back in 2018, but the odd album.

In the last two years, I’ve acquired a lot but am reckless and don’t know the actual value. Given that I will never have a retirement fund and if I do I’ll spend it, this is my retirement fund.

I don’t expect an answer, but I have a few questions:

  1. Do you ever see yourself selling?
  2. Why or why not?
  3. How do you display?
  4. Rarest drops and items?
  5. Do you take your merch out of the packaging? (I don’t and it feels weird)
  6. What are the rarest pieces?
  7. Why do people sell them?
  8. How much does merch appreciate? What is it based on?
  9. Thought on old vinyls?

I’m trying to get a rough estimate of collection now and projected in 20 years. Would love to see a discussion and see what everyone says.

I’m a lurker so I don’t know anything about Reddit and only joined when I started getting autographs.
