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.

8% recorded music. 92% gear.

Primarily because the cost of high end audio gear is exponentially higher than the cost of recorded music (considering only digital formats here since I no longer use analog).
Hard to know. Records in Mint condition can be quite expensive. But probably 75/25 - gear/music.
