It is very easy to make excuses and hard to get out of that rut. No reason to waste the time of others if one just wants to burn one’s money, let it burn by all means. Very easy to be in one’s 40s, raise two kids, have a full time job, and design myriad projects, hobbies, etc. Just down to will and time management. (And ripping CDs is as complex as a burp, no technical knowledge needed.) There’s always someone that has it tougher, and now more than ever is the time to figure out those skills necessary to survive, as things will not be getting any easier. Paying corpos for “luxury” just feeds into the failure that is humanity. This makes one’s children’s lives worse in the future.
That would be good advice for someone with time.
I’m in my 40s with a full-time job and two kids. I’m not looking for new hobbies. I just want to listen to music.

I’ll refrain from saying this is a Wendy’s, so instead I’ll just say: you don’t know me, my struggles, or my successes.
