I am soon to be 74, I had been working full time into my mid 60's but my wife was ill for many years and died in Oct. I had kept cutting back my hours to care for her at home which I did. But for the last year I have had no paycheck and spent tons of money for help with home care. And for those who don't know, the health care system is broken in many ways.
But back in the day I used to listen to records every day. I have loved listening to music and have enjoyed the gear as well, but for the last 5 years no music for me. No time for it, no juice for it and no desire for it. I hope that those things will change at some point, but from an economic standpoint, things are different now and will always be. I don't even think of buying gear.
So if you can, enjoy your pursuits now as much as much is possible. Anything can be taken from you.
