Who Gave Us Grown-Up Money?

As kids, we dreamed about all the things we’d buy when we finally had our own money. Now that we’re adults, many of us are filling our homes with collectibles, toys, games, and nostalgic treasures we couldn’t have before. But why? In this episode of Adults on Paper, Josh and Ethan dive into the world of adult collecting, childhood nostalgia, and the joy of spending grown-up money on things that make us happy. We talk about our dream collections, the rare items we’re still hunting for, the possessions we’d never part with, and whether companies like Nintendo are keeping our childhoods alive—or just selling them back to us.

Plus, we discuss the toys and trends we wish would make a comeback, some of the strangest collections we’ve ever seen, and wrap things up with our weekly question: What adult thing did you do this week?

No one is qualified. We’re all just winging it. 🎙️
