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?

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.

Some here, and elsewhere, are assuming that we (the people) are being given (by media, etc) full and correct information, and with no addenda to do otherwise.
