I retired 2 years ago and am now 66. I found my joy in life, again, is by going back to my roots; I let my hair grow a few inches and completely overhauled my audio system. I sold off all of the old gear and bought new gear, slowly, over 1 1/2 years. Certainly, have to consider budgeting! Each and every upgrade has been an absolute pleasure. And of course, I can't stop now, just slow down on the expenses. I'm about there with the system, so no worry.
Enough said about me, I just hope that you can relate. Life is too short. You made it this far so please do enjoy what makes your heart (and ears) feel good. There is absolutely nothing wrong with rewarding yourself with good hi-fi. Your kids will be so happy that you did. I am confident they will want to see you enjoy all that you can, for as long as possible. That's a good family! And if good hi-fi is part of that recipe, then by all means, serve up a good one for yourself. Enjoy the music!
