Definitely

[Dave]

Yup I'm in there too.

[Grant]

Still in a bit of a money crunch, but sure!

[Dave B]

I have definitely spent more money on music in the last ten years. Everything is a lot more expensive and my standards have risen.

[Andrew]

Much less than in the past, although a bit more lately. :::shrugs:::

Virtually every extra dime I have goes towards music in some form or another. Guitars, CDs, albums, equipment. Can't get enough of it. If someone dropped a piano out of a building and it fell on me music notes would ooze out of my head instead of brains. I'm sick, need help....

[John Carsell]

Oh Yeah.
I'm guilty as hell. Great addiction tho'.
Don't need no doctor, don't need no cure!

I am not over forty, but I spend a lot more on music than I use to. It really helps when you have a job. My wife thinks I am in need of serious counseling. I feel fine. Just one more CD Honey..…;)

[R. Cat Conrad]

Heh, heh... yep! And like Sale and Pelletier I'll take that gold over the silver any ol' day! ;)

I'm not over forty either and I spend a lot more on music than I used to. My wife also thinks...no wait, I don't have a wife anymore..

You can probably guess why!:)

OF COURSE I DO!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Jeff H.]

I definitely have the fever too!!!

Buy the end of last year I think that I was accounting for 50% of all sales. New year new policy, I SAY NO MORE. Since the beginning of this year I only bought 2 CD's and 1 LP. As I'm approching 50 (still a couple of years to go) and with 2 kids yet to put through college I've decided to keep more of my money and give less to the record companies who relish selling me the same album 5 time (each one supposedly better).

Turning 40? That's a scary thought. At least I don't need to be over 40 to afford most of the music I want to buy. But it has a lot to do with ^DJI and ^IXIC. :( I miss the bull market and am waiting for the next one.
