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 ?

Does anyone remember the 80’s when great equipment was at a price anyone could afford. Adcom, Carver, Hafler could all be had at a reasonable price. I had a preamp from Spectro Acoustic with two Adcom amps running mono a Michell Focus One turntable with a Dynovector cartridge with a ruby stylus and JSE model 1’s. Wish I still had that system.

You ask where I get the money.  This was it for me. Told my self nothing is too expensive. You just don't earn enough. The problem is always the dummy  in the mirror. Get as much education as possible.  Apply your self. Listen do not talk too much. Show up for work. Don't work for someone very long. Start a business. If it fails try again. Put your self in the way of money. Money is flowing all the time everywhere. Make a  mistake once. Twice your a dummy. If all else fails, marry up financially, win it, or inherit it. If these sugestions don't work  sing the song " just a giglio everywhere I go."    

Just a side comment about this forum. I read the funniest whittiest stuff every day. A lot of smart people here. This forum is just as much audio as it is life. It doesn't bother me people can rude and mean here. That's life. The world can be a cruel place. Get over it.

You should have stopped typing after the first question mark.
Some reasonable answers may have followed.  In fact, I'm surprised
you received as many pleasant replies as you did.

In polite society it is taboo to ask how much a person earns, what they spend their money on etc etc. 

High end audio can certainly be a "cubic dollars" game just like airplanes, boats, cars, watches, you name it and someone can spend more on it than you can imagine is possible.
