Thanks to all who responded! You've been so helpful. I haven't made any decisions as yet.
To Gordon,
I've been driving a car for years and I'm a very good driver, maybe even as good as you! I could do a fine job driving that Mercedes, if I wanted to, but that would set me back, oh $30,000 +. Since I'm not such a car person I choose to spend money on other things that are important to me. When I want to research new cars I go to "Consumer Reports" magazine to get ideas and recommendations.
Here I'm talking about a hobby that I've fallen in love with. I'm researching the equipment here on this web site, and I'm looking at instruments costing in the $1k-2000 range. I lost more than that in the stock market!
Since I'm an adult, and I work, I don't think it's that extravagant an expense. I've fallen in love with the clarinet, and I feel so much better since I've started playing. You, readers of this board have more experience, than I about clarinets.
If you'd like to know about Buicks, I could help you out with that, Gordon!
