I feel your pain. Am 60 and have been a hospital based physician for 8 years now, after practicing traditional internal medicine for 17 years. Worked seven straight months on COVID unit pre-vaccination. Don’t see myself retiring before 67. My Audio Research gear was bought used 10 years ago. Bought new Focal 1007Be and stands for ~$3500 on a good deal from Music Direct at that time and they remain in my main system.
What do/did you do for a living?
With the increasingly high priced items people own and are selling, I'm curious about the line of work people do or have done. I thought my $5k integrated was a massive investment, but seeing users searching for $100k speakers or $75k SET amplifiers has me curious about the varying lines of work people do to afford these items.
