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?

As we prepare to sell our house and move I've been keeping my shredder busy lately.  I'm only keeping seven years of my tax returns and business receipts, as I was going thru my papers I had memories of all the good fortune I had, in my 21 years of having a very successful consulting business, I worked a lot during those times that so many others were not so fortunate, like the recession of the early 2000's, the "great recession", etc.  By the end of 2014 I was pretty much "fully spent", and found that I'd worked and billed out 2882 hours that year!

As a result, I enjoy an audio system that is way more than I ever dreamed of!

We are in the process of building a home in a wonderful neighborhood, and YES, it'll have a "bonus room" for my audio system.
