Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.

Think of all the money you saved in the last ten years by not pursuing this 
"hobby". 

@jrosemd My wife started a business 5 years ago.  Last year was her first profitable year.  This year is off to a good start for her.  As for saving money. LOL!  Time will tell but persistence is the name of the game.

I include What's Best Forum and Audio Circle among my forum sites.   I view SoundstageUltra, TheAudioBeat, PositiveFeedback, EnjoytheMusic and Analog Planet for news sites and reviews.   

@artizen65 ...14+ years in our venture, and survives despite the stock market heart attack back when.  Covid has been a good time for us, due to (we suspect) parents needing to get their children out of the house (we design/build/install playgrounds, commercial and residential) and stop making them crazy.  This year looks good to us too....

Perseverance is not just the name of a Mars rover, Yes. *L* ;)
 
Audio items for me is an interest, not an addiction....discounting
my diy omni activities, which take a back seat to 'business as unusual' (our claim to infamy).

Hang tough, and be brilliant. 👍

@asvjerry Thank you.  We hang tough every day.  As for brilliant well.
