How much money would it take to get you to stop listening to music?

You would have your instruments taken away, can't play any music in your car, watch videos, can't go to concerts or shows. Of course you wouldn't be able to escape background music at stores or whatever, but you can't choose to listen to music.

I think if I was payed $250,000 a year I could find another occupying hobby to where I could be happy like traveling, surfing or something like that, any less and I don't think I could do it.

If you couldn't give up listening, would you stop playing instruments for a certain amount?

It means enough that the first woman I meet who is my age and knows who David Gilmour is will be my wife.

Oh, uh. I have plenty of other hobbies if for some reason I gave up my instrument. I'd ask for the price of my instruments plus a little more to help fund my other interests.

Oh shit, can't even listen to music? I need to learn to read OPs. In that case, it would be much harder to name a price. In the previously mentioned "other hobbies" I often listen to music as well.

Uhh... I think that's kind of a dumb question. Normal people listen to music. It's natural. It's not something you really sell out for money.

Giving up your instrument on the other hand is more of a legitimate question. That would have to be a pretty high price. Like, enough to be set for life high. It's my biggest hobby in the world, so it wouldn't be easy for me to give up.

I hate the cliche, music is my life, but removing all forms of music from my life would drive me insane. Over half of my free time has some sort of music, whether it's the main focus or just something to have on in the background.

250k honestly doesn't sound like enough, considering I'd feel like shit with silence.

I went about 6 months without listening to music once. Just didn't feel like it for some reason. So I know I can be fine and happy without. But it's my favorite hobby that I plan on having for decades.
If I were to get an appropriate amount like $5M then what am I gonna do, yes I would chill out at a beach house but without a ****ing guitar, what's the point.

PapaKooLay

No music at ALL? No ipods, phones, radios? No videos?!
Can I at least sing?

$200 000 a year should be able to distract me enough...

I don't need your hypothetical $250,000. Soon I will have real $250,000 and still have the musics

If I had that kind of money, I'd just want to buy musical equipment with it.

So no.

This, right here. I wholeheartedly agree.

If i was paid enough money to start semi-pro racing (either rally or track racing) regularly, or dealing in rare/exotic cars (buying and selling cars, restoring vintage cars to sell for profit, etc...) in my free time, i think i could do it since it's a huge passion of mine. I simply don't have the financial means to do it yet.

But i don't know how much money it would take, specifically.

For regular racing, i think 500,000.00€ per year (on the first year, at least) would be enough -- new car, adaptation to its racing class standards, a nice stock of quick-degradation parts like brake pads and tires to burn through, a small trailer to transport the car, and a couple of hired mechanics for assistance.

For car dealing, it'd require enough money to build the initial stock, plus cover all expenses for restoring the first vintage cars among the initial stock that needed it.
Keep those cars for a while, enjoy them, and start selling'em when i get tired of them, then get new cars.
Maybe 300,000.00€ would be enough to buy/restore (to absolutely mint condition) 4 or 5 interesting cars per year as a hobby. Mind you, i'm talking about really special cars -- Porsche, Lotus, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Audi, BMW, Alfa Romeo, etc. -- and that s#it's expensive as hell.

It means a lot to me

I had little to no direction in life before I discovered music
Since then, it's been an endearing part of my life which I don't want to lose at all

You guys sure love your music! I would probably settle for like 40.000euro/year. Not like I couldn't find anything else to do in my free-time

Life would feel rather empty without music. It can make rather monotonous tasks fun or at least bearable. So I suppose, there isn't really enough money in the world.

Can't choose to listen? Use some of the money to pay a friend to lock you in a room every few days. Not allowed out of room until you've played or listened to music for at least 3 hours. Friend is not paid if they let you out early.
