What do/did you do for a living?


With the increasingly high priced items people own and are selling, I'm curious about the line of work people do or have done. I thought my $5k integrated was a massive investment, but seeing users searching for $100k speakers or $75k SET amplifiers has me curious about the varying lines of work people do to afford these items.

retired high school teacher. love high end music, but my limited budget has taken me over the yrs. to 5k amp+ 1.5k preamp+ 300 cd+ 2.8K speakers+ 4k tt . so im close to 15k investment. I still considered modest by high end standards.
I retired two years ago at 63 from a career in accounting and commercial real estate finance. Did well and lived prudently. We’re well aware that we are also very lucky - good kids and good health. One of my retirement presents to myself was a new audio system so I spent $2k on a Powernode2 and PSB Imagine Bs, plus good cables. I’m quite pleased with it but lately I want more - more soundstage, more bass, more detail, just plain more (don’t know if I’ll get WAF, though).  I joined this forum to learn from all of you. Peace and be safe.
