Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?


I’m 63. I’m not wealthy but I have a tolerant wife and I still love to pursue great sound. But I find myself increasingly reluctant to spend significant amounts on new gear. I know my hearing acuity is not as good as it used to be, but my love of music and good sound is not diminished. When considering a purchase, I find myself factoring in cost versus life expectancy (mine!) and auditory function. I’ll even have some guilt about spending my kid’s inheritance. Is something wrong with me?

Thanks! When can I expect my T-shirt and decoder ring? :)


 Do you want the regular, barely readable decoder ring ($5,000) or do you want the high-end, vibration isolated decoder ring ($150,000) ??
Welcome to team frugal.

At some point you realize how much of the hobby is purely for the joy of shopping and choose not to play.

Best,
