What's your profession? Age?


Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...

Age 39, and will be 40 next April (and pretty damn proud of it too). I am Computer Support Specialist. I currently make about $50K a year, and I am not married, nor do I have any children. I guess when you don't have a spouse or any kids to deal with, then you can probably afford this hobby.

I've been a Computer Support Specialist for six years, and have been an audiophile for almost twenty-five years.

And last (if not least), I don't have an $80K system either. Cannot afford it. I have rent (and saving up for a mortgage), an automobile, auto insurance, credit cards, food, and utilities to deal with. So, that pretty much precludes me from getting an $80K to $100K audio setup.

So then, my audio setup retails for $7K, and my home theater retails for another $3K.

I guess that puts me lower on the totem pole, right (LOL)???
