Has your gear addiction led you to financial trouble?

Never. I only buy whatever I can, whenever I can, always after paying bills and food.

Naaah. I just use my credit card to purchase gear and pay for it in a month or two.

My credit card is always in red numbers. And I still have a long wish list.

I'm only kidding. The fact is that I have no social life, and only buy the odd bit of software here and there. I spent quite a bit when I was first starting out but quickly realised I'm too shit to bother spending big bucks on this stuff...:)

I am not in any debt at all, buying gear doesn't get in the way of things I need...but for the most part when I spend money on me I have a fairly one track mind....like for instance my leather jacket...all beat up, doesn't zip anymore...the pocets are just holes now (but those zippers work) but I'll buy gear before I replace that. Last winter I wore sneaks all winter with big holes in the bottom...I didn't replace them until spring...but I bought my share of gear.

I wont let my family go without anything (my daughter gets a little spoiled) but after that :shrug:....though after recent events, I'm out of things I really want as far as gear goes...;)
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

no, software is too cheap...

Preach on! I used to buy so much stuff that came along when I was a newbie brainwashed by mags like Computer Music and FM. Now I've got way too mujch sh1t that I never use and I've learned to just dig in and use what I've got, and now I'm actually making music instead of collecting gear. :oops:
A well-behaved signature.

A ninja can whup a pirate's ass any day of the week. Down with pirates! Up with ninjas!

A friend of mine at work got himself into something like $40,000 of debt buying music gear in the 80's. He's almost paid it off.

Gear porn is definitely evil. But I find KVR even worse in that sense. Everytime a new synth comes out, it turns out to be the *best* synth ever and people just have to have it.
