Another Reason To Collect Stamps

Stamp collecting has been a beloved hobby of millions of people from all over the world for more than 100 years. Many people try to collect stamps for a profit. You will find that you have to know a lot of information in order to make the big bucks! Most people collect just for the fun of collecting. Of course you could be one of the lucky ones and come across something fantastic in your experience of being a collector.

A study done by the Royal Mail in England has revealed some fantastic and encouraging information for all stamp collectors….especially the young up-and-coming collectors. It has been found that children who collect stamps grow up to be more successful, more intelligent and overall have a better adult life. Adults also gain important skills and knowledge that are transferred into everyday life.

The study revealed that 74 percent of stamp collectors have a college degree in comparison to the general public, where only 20 percent have a degree. It was also found that stamps collectors generally make more money per year than non-stamp collectors. Stamp collectors typically have larger homes than non-collectors and often times have a second home for vacation use. Stamp collectors typically take more vacations per year, which sells the idea totally
in my book!

Even though this study was done in England and applies to the people of England, I am sure that the Yanks across the pond will tend to agree with their findings! We are more intelligent and more successful because of stamp collecting!
