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.

I just revisited this thread. I saw my post at the top of page two.  I am down to three months before I’m retired.  I can see a little light at the end of the tunnel.  

Hello @rocray I won’t say congratulations just yet then; but good for you.  Been retired almost 32 months now and loving it.  Funny thing is, the only time I’m really relaxed is when I’m listening to music- just like when I was working.

I spent a lot of money in my first year of retirement.  Be prepared for that.  A good part of that was on the stereo.  But I had a grand time doing it.  The hardest thing for me was writing the check for my speakers.  That was a lot of money.  Once I heard them in my room all that stress was forgotten.

@tonywinga, beautiful room,and system.  Thanks for the encouragement.  Over that last handful of years, I have slowly been upgrading, getting ready for this phase of my life.  I have to say,physically and mentally, I am ready for this.  I turned 60 in May, and consider myself truly blessed.  While I’m not going to be vacationing in the south of France every winter, I will be able to enjoy a small indulgence from time to time.
