I ask, because I see so many "ordered" comments on everything, and lots of people participating in Kickstarters and all kinds of stuff.
I've had to (more or less) stop channeling money into film music-related products in the last 10 years, due to "the four threats", as I call them, which I did a thread on over on CT here:
https://celluloidtunes.no/forums/topic/the-four-threats-and-tariffs/
It's not my business to dig into your personal economies, but it's something that I think about quite often here on FSM.
How do you cope with everyday expenses compared to film music items? Do you have an alloted pot?
No, not rich. I still live with my parents and I'm in my 40s. I have a regular job, not very well paid but a job's a job so I can't complain.
My days of buying CDs is mostly over due to the expense of ordering from abroad (though I found some very cheap new BSX Tangerine Dream soundtracks last month, so bought those).

I dont regard myself as being rich, but I dont have any money worries, and can more-or-less buy whatever soundtracks come out that I want. But I dont go on holiday much, dont smoke, dont drink, dont gamble, I dont spend much on clothes, dont drive (but my wife does) and no longer have a mortgage - apart from buying cds, dvds and going out for a meal once a week I dont have many other treats, that I can mention, anyway.

There was a fellow here at FSM who routinely posted his weekly community-sized laundry lists of score purchases. I don't know how he ever found the time to listen to them or the place to store it, but nice work if you can get it.
As for me: not rich, and I don't buy much of anything anymore. Never had children and my mortgage and car payment are things of the past, sort of like good film music.

I'm rich in spirit, personality, humour, wit, likability and warmth. Comfortable in cash. So far I haven't flaunted and wasted my hard earned cash on idle pleasures , such as women. I don't go in holiday, either. Also, in the last 5/6 years I've given up the booze, not t total just don't bother. The main reason I stopped was because my dad, now 86, started falling over more , even when sober. Oh I still live with my parents. And no kids.

The Intrada Facebook page is worse. People posing their acquisitions and they are piles of CDs.
I haven't bought a CD since the $15 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny score. I ain't got the cash for this stuff anymore.
Anyways, 99.9% of the music I want was released. So I'm good by this point.

I don’t have a wife or children either, not by choice, but who would marry me?
Don't think like that. Be positive. There's always someone stupid around the corner, you just have to bump into them.
