Worth of current system

I just did a tally of the cost of my current components.
I wonder if anybody has done the same and wants to reveal.
My total came to around $18,000

So I budget for lower high end and spend that on parts. Then I do it my way.

Living room rig approximately $500 Maybe $600ish with replacement tubes. Bedroom system has ss and tube option and cost about $1600 all in. I have a mix of vintage and modern gear. Each system is unique sounding and I love them all.
