I know what you mean @corndogg42. And I am inflexible when it comes to buying anything that is not in my list of metals for this year. Jewelry is just so tempting for me, and you can see that I veered several times by the number of Mene charms that I have. I don't regret any Mene purchase... I love each piece. So next year, I will make sure that Mene is in my list of goals because Mene was not in my list for 2018.
