Budgeting for 2011 Music and Gear


What percentage of your budget next year will be spent on audio gear verses music?

Last year, the amount I spent on gear outpaced spending on music. In 2011 the plan is to put more focus on music (and to enjoy last year's spending). The ratio I came up with is 75% music and 25% equipment.

I left myself a loop hole just in case i find a really good deal. Money from audio gear I sell in 2011 can be spent on more gear without being added to the Gear/Music ratio.

So what's your ratio and why?

Marakanetz,

Thanks for adding live music. Unfortunately that was my smallest expenditure in 2010 but won't be in 2011.

With the generous input so far, here's the revised 2011 budget.

33% Live Music - The wife is now on board with the audio budget :)
33% Recorded Music - HiRes downloads, vinyl and obscure cds
20% Gear - Vinyl and CD storage is the obvious purchase
10% Audio Show - One local show

Thanks for the help everyone.
