2 weeks ago, on May 15th, i retired after 49 years in Automotive Retail.
i am very curious to see how this change in my life and time management will affect my hifi/music loving hobby. now i can listen as much as i like, before i worked 55 hours a week, 6 days a week. will my hobby be needed to deal with my stress in the same way, or will i lean away from it?
i expect it to become a bigger part of my day as i love to listen to music in my system. i have spent the last 30 years seriously creating the perfect place to listen, and assembling a system and music collection to satisfy my needs.
we will have to see. i will let life and my feelings happen as it comes. so far i am joyful with my freedom of choice and really enjoying my ability to extend listening sessions without limits. never got so much before from the hobby.
as far as ’gear slut’, ’room set-up focus’ and ’music focus’, i’ve always done all three.. but one change will be staying revenue neutral, i can buy new gear, but being retired, i need to also sell something to pay for it.
