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?

80 percent deaf in one ear , almost sold everything ,then I turned on the music one day and was happy to have the other, amen.
oregonpapa, I really like that quote, "... discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons." Very good quote!  Thank you !  

Reminds me of one I committed to memory:
Sow a thought, reap an act
Sow an act, reap a habit,
Sow a habit, reap a lifestyle,
Sow a lifestyle, reap a destiny.  
Just because our driving skills have diminished over the years does not mean we can not appreciate a Lotus.
