Apologies, but I have no inherited wealth, I don't wear a suit to work, and I'm not a drug dealer. I work very hard to be successful at my trade, which is network engineering, and I am compensated fairly for the work. Record collecting has been my primary hobby for over twenty years now, and it's were I spend nearly all of my extra income (outside of family vacations). I drive a 13-year-old car, rarely buy new clothes or other personal things, and try to keep all other expenses as low as possible. I have also been selling off a lot of my metal and electronic vinyl collection to help with picking up more vintage soundtracks and libraries, which I have been way more into over the last many years. I also use a lot of my free time to search for vinyl, and I even stopped playing video games a few years ago to devote more time to the hobby. I try to maintain a network of people across the globe to help find vinyl albums that I am looking for.
I also feel pretty damn lucky whenever I pull in a big one. That said, it's not my intention to piss anybody off by posting here. I am just looking to share in the passion for this hobby, or obsession might be the better word for me. If my posts have become irritating, then I could volunteer to stop posting about what I'm buying or listening to, or only discuss reissues.
Let me know your thoughts, or feel free to send me a direct message.
