spending money on music...

My parents say that I spend too much money on music. I go
to the recordstore every week where to spend about 60€ and
I order stuff on the internet (about 5 or 6 CD or LPs per
week). I know it's a lot but I love music and I'm
discovering more and more awesome stuff.
I spend my own money as I've begun working and I'm near to
be 21 so I can spend my money as I want, but my parents
don't seem very happy about that.
Do you have the same problem ?

its a problem that i've had for the past 12 years. at one
point i was spending half my wages on records every week. i
cant afford to do it now, even if i have got £100 to last
till the end of the month, i will go and spend at least £40
on music, then struggle through. i have mostly been out of
debt all my life, but i am going to sell of about 20% of my
record collection to pay off debt and buy a new computer
quite soon.

wow, thats quite alot of money to spend on records, i could
see that happening very easily to myself but i havent had
anything like this happen to me, probably because i havent
got a good source of income yet.

only selling off the crap. i made the mistake of selling
good records in the past, the spending loads more to buy
back the ones i really missed.

just shit that i thought "yeah, might as well buy it i
suppose" only things that i can't see myself listening to
again.

I used to have this problem, and it resulted in mounds of
CDs that I don't even listen to anymore, and there are tons
of things I listen to now that I know will have only a
limited place in my heart. So I cut it down to buying only
my favorite stuff.

And now I've cut it done to none. Man I wish I had some
spending money right now. I haven't been able to buy a vidyo
game or a CD in many weeks. My fault, I'm a douche.

living in england i bought stacks of cds but south africa is
a different story, there is only one really big cd shop
(CD Wherehouse) and the most interesting albums are all
imports costing about R200 which is expensive if you're
earning in rands. but it is nice to rarely buy albums
because you treasure them more.

I spend much on CD`s, they cost the same as in the other
parts of EU, but our wages are 3,4 times smaller.

feeding your passion with purchasing
music is a rewarding experience, you'll
appreciate it more 10-yrs down the road
when you have an all-expansive and
incredible selection of actual releases...

I spend too much money on music. This is why I didn't see
"new" bands at Glade. I couldn't face hearing something so
awesome that I had to go out and buy some. I know I can
download it too but I'm a sucker for having the actual
product in my hand.

down and gain control again.
