Idk mixing and recording music is tedious and boring sometimes and I still do it. I paint furniture. I repair cars. The truth of the matter is all of those things involve buying something to do the job. Or fixing your house. Thats just how the world is. You aren’t gonna find shingles and 2x4s and nails out in the woods to gather.

I’m definitely one of those, except my "collectibles " all serve a function. I don’t get things that just sit. If it is sittiitng, I sell it (like my old Atari I never used anymore).

I could probably be better about buying things, but the things I buy enable me to do more. I’m a project person. And, I usually buy used if I ever can.

Definitely better than folks buying endless plastic un repairable junk on amazon that they dont need at all.
