Would having the ability to finance your next pair of High End speakers be a factor in your buying decision?

By working my butt off and sweating all the life of me.

Please let me know.
Where did you live while working your butt off?
And how did you finance your then current living AND at the same time put away enough to safe for your own home?

I was risen the same way: first earn the money before you can spend it.
So I worked all my school and University holidays from age 12 up to finance my hobbies and luxuries:
First motorcycles, then a car, but it was always hifi and music that interested me the most.
My friend M spoilt me VERY early for HiFi and music

So with this educational background, I had to gasp very hard and adjust to the notion of having depts for the first time in my life, when I could take over my parents house with the old mortgages and due to necessary renovations and paying out my sister, even adding up a lot more new mortgages.
The cost of living and especially of habitation are extremely expensive in my country
I'm extremely grateful that I was able to take over the house. I feel very privileged

Did you inherit a lot of money to pay for your house or did you inherit the house itself?
Here in my country, building plots or houses are so expensive that normally even double income couples can hardly ever buy their own houses or buy the plots and build houses
How did you manage that?

You should try it here in Hong Kong, where a car park space sells for almost 1 million USD.....

I lived in Canada all my life. I might send you a book or three...my life's story.

No.

No, I would never finance a HIFI purchase.
