    Saving since 19 is great! The FIRE life can be pretty extreme, but the magic of compounding interest will pay off in time and you'll be creatively doing nothing before you know it. :)

    So, your dream job is... retirement.

    Unless you're independently wealthy or plan on marrying someone who is, your best bet is to embrace some long-term planning, study up on the core tenets of the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) movement, and put in the hard work today for that sweet no-work payoff of tomorrow.

    Thanks very much! That is all much more affordable than I thought it was going to be. I already own a Tascam, which helps. As an audiophile, gross breathing sounds are a mortal enemy of mine. :)...

    Now I'm going to have to do some homework on being a better filmmaker to put this all to good use ...

    It's still in the idea stage, but I want to create a local live music sessions series on YouTube. I'm a big fan of The Mahogany Sessions and similar sessions series. I love the aesthetic and the connection between music and physical space. I live in a "Renaissance City" (read: hipsters + gentrification) in the U.S. which has so many great local musicians and interesting spaces that are often culturally overshadowed by the announcement of another new restaurant, apartment complex, etc. Despite an influx of young, creative people, the local music scene has no mature means of discovering these artists or appreciating these spaces, and I think combining the two would be a lot of fun.

    The investment up front is pretty hefty (I don't own any high quality video equipment) and this wouldn't be a for-profit endeavor, but I think this would scratch my itches as a musician, creator and marketing professional and help better connect me to a sense of local community, which I am increasingly in need of. Any input is welcome!

    Edit: grammar
