members and their systems


for the short time I have been on here, I see that members will start a thread asking about a certain piece of equipment or speakers..       they will then buy that piece of equipment / speakers, start a thread about it saying how good it is and then next thing you know, they are starting another thread asking about another piece of gear as they are looking for something different.           what happened to that piece of gear that was so great ?       
  i get the whole buying thing....but where are members getting the money to do all of this stuff ?       do they not have other bills such as rent / mortgage payment, car payment, other bills to pay for also ?

For the long time I have been on here I see that some members will start a thread that goes haywire at warp speed: Start with a headline that sounds like one subject, like members and their systems. Then switch to a completely different subject, like people who flip components. Then raise a point that could be useful, like how to prioritize your purchases. But switch it up again to something completely unrelated and frankly no one’s business, like where do you get the money? Finally, this not being good enough, the true haywire post bait and switches completely to what no one can ever answer, which is how "members" do it. Because "members" is imaginary, an aggregate, it makes no sense. Any answer will do. We rob trains. If some "members" do then the answer is correct. We deal drugs. We rob everyone left and right. We work in banking.

But I repeat myself.

I was in Leavenworth one time and the Ferrari club was there on a tour. Friendly folk, real enthusiasts and happy to talk about their cars. One of them made a point of letting me know virtually all of them were just normal people making normal money. Plenty of examples.

So I have a hunch it is just normal people, only with maybe a different set of priorities. I pack my own lunch, hardly ever eat out, haven’t had a cell phone or the monthly bill that goes with it - ever. No Starbucks habit. Worked weekend doubles, OT, took call, paid off my 15 year mortgage in 8 years.

Not that it’s any of your business. Where do you get the time to ask nosy questions? What even makes you feel entitled to ask? Don’t answer. Rather not know. Wouldn’t do any good anyway.

Now then, is there anything you would like to know about members and their systems?
No I don’t everything is paid for.  PAYMENTS? Heck kiddo that's what's wrong. The only reason I have bills is so I have something to do.. Besides anything else I want to do.. I love being retired.

I should had done it the other way around though.. Retire first then go to work AFTER I’m all wore out.. 49 years of retirement, and what ever is left for work.. Makes sense to me, NOW...

Respect..
