What's Happening in Newark?

I think people who use bathrooms would tend to agree that the person who fills the TP roll they're about to use has the most important job in the world. Civilization simply could not survive without them.

I pawned my guitar and amp the day before my private pilot checkride to get the money to pay for it. That ride was $125 in 1989. The same ride today is $450. I miss that Red Fender Strat...
On the "even more ashamed" front, I drove without car insurance for 18 months while making $10/hr as a CFI at DET and without working windshield wipers for 6 months (RainX is awesome). I also illegally lived in a storage unit for 45 days on my $7000 a year CFI income (showered at the gym). All true.

Ouch! As a fellow musician, I feel your pain. I had to sell gear to eat as well. I hope you got another rig!

Not an easy life. Would probably be happier flying. Its not something one can do till age 65 either.

Before the '08 crash some prices on strats were insane(30k-50k), but as the boomers get older, and as they(one way or another)pass their vintage guitars on to their kids, many in the (dealer) industry are saying their kids will be dumping them on the market, as they simply do not hold the nostalgia/other value to them that their parents/grand-parents did...as such, prices could drop pretty significantly, except(maybe)for the most rare.
I say this as someone who's owned a '64 Strat since '83..(...snooze you lose)
