members and their systems

for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

You should have stopped typing after the first question mark.
Some reasonable answers may have followed.  In fact, I'm surprised
you received as many pleasant replies as you did.

In polite society it is taboo to ask how much a person earns, what they spend their money on etc etc. 

High end audio can certainly be a "cubic dollars" game just like airplanes, boats, cars, watches, you name it and someone can spend more on it than you can imagine is possible.

"In polite society it is taboo to ask how much a person earns..."

Why is that so?
 

Well, not being a sociologist I find this a difficult question...save for the fact that (as I'm sure you know) we all grow up in a geography that has its own norms.  If you feel as though you would like to continue this discussion PM me.

riley804,

You certainly don't need my permission to do anything, that is quite a logical leap.   I did not say in any manner that any of the replies contained a question about income.  What I did say is the OP in an off-handed way did ask that very question.
" ...but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?"

I guess I'm the odd man out then, I really couldn't care less what people have or how they got it.  One last thing, please don't put me and MC in bed together.  I have agreed and disagreed with him just as I have with quite a few people on this forum.
