Old computers carry a lot of nostalgia. I still feel like im Ronan. Iām a Commodore man in a PC world lol.
Commodore 48 and the old BBC computer was my gaming high point lmao
How do people afford hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment for leisure? Are they getting loans/taking out a second mortgage? Are they just exceedingly rich? What are their jobs? How do I get one??
Generally they have a lot more.
A lot of people with significant $ in something donāt get there immediately, itās an incremental spend.
Iāve got 10ās of thousands of dollars in guitars I now rarely play, they were my obsession 20 years ago.
Iāve had what most would consider high paying jobs for 30 years, I came out of the English education system when grants were still a thing, so I never had any student debt. I donāt like expensive clothes, I live well below my means, Iāve never had kids, which really are the biggest expense most people ever commit to, so I have significant disposable income.
Now getting a well paying jobs is as much about luck and networking as it is about skill set. You still need the latter but the available opportunities are much more about the former.

I have ~$30-40k in musical instruments (from the price paid at the time), but Iāve built that collection up over 3 decades. I only ever spent more than $5000 once in a single year and I saved up most of that from previous years.

Hm, makes sense. I mean, Iām in one of the āprofessions,ā so pay is comfortable, but I donāt think Iāll ever sniff that kind of disposable income. Unless yea, itās over a period of time. Or I become one of those multi-millionaire startup folks. Or the lotto.
Edit: I guess I was just curious about the math. Like 500k over 30 years is roughly 1.4k a month. That still seems like a lot. If youāre well off and itās your only hobby, then maybe?
Edit 2: Didnāt mean to derail the thread. It just got me thinking about opportunity cost and peopleās different income situations and priorities. Back to Zeos!
I wouldnāt worry about it, what your really looking for IMO once you get into the work force is to make more money than you spend, and them to accrue enough in savings that being out of a job for a while doesnāt hurt.
Once you reach that point, your working on your terms, and not the companies.
Still isnāt a panacea in the US because of the healthcare system, but it changes the way you approach work.
