You know you're poor when........

I have a couple of power cords I would be willing to part with for $20k each.

When she asks what the baking soda is for, he replies, "You wouldn't want your water tasting like potatoes, would you"

For you young folks, back in the day, people used to use baking soda in the fridge, because it absorbs all of the various odors before they had self-defrosting units.

I know a couple of my Audiocircles wealthy friends have tens of thousands of dollars invested in PC's and IC's (especially those with dedicated Home Theater rooms with really long runs). It's a perspective thing.
If you have a $15K Quallia projector and a $5K 150" screen. Reimyo stack and Halcro amps for every one of the 6 channels of Wilson Alexandria and Maxx 2 and Watchdog speakers. 30' of Nordost IC's.

If you have it, and "there's lots more where that came from" money, then it fits the mold. OTOH, using a $8K PC with a $800 CDP is downright silly.

But none of this should make you feel poor. Not having people to love and people loving you makes you poor, and Towert7, you have a loving family, and that is true wealth!

Can you really condemn a person who takes advantage of those who let themselves get easily taken advantage of?

Good old buyer beware, and the days of the smart consumer aren't around anymore.

As long you have fun listening to the music, money isn't into the equation.
No matter what the quality of the sound is.

Instruments cannot measure how happy somebody can be to hear his favourite song or bring back certain memories when he/she is hearing music or a specific song/cd!

Thank god happyness isn't always measured in money or how much equipment you have!
