All those records you’ve bought need listening to! Don’t just leave them there to collect dust.
If you don’t listen to them sell them on Discogs and buy ones you will actually listen to.

you really gotta rethink your relationship with music. I started buying records when I was a teenager and built up a pretty decent, curated collection over the years, but it’s really only worth it if you buy the albums you truly love and want to revisit over and over again. If you treat it like an extension of Spotify, where everything is available instantly, you will be broke and disappointed.
The other thing that people don’t tell you about buying vinyl is that it takes a lot of time. Buying used records is the cheapest way to build your collection, but that means rummaging through a lot of junk. This is fun! But it is also time consuming.

Speaking as the owner of ~400 records (used to be over 1000!), I would say that it depends on what you like about collecting records!
When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, and records were cheaper and I went to shows every week, I think I was more likely to buy stuff. Nowadays I like having more space in my house (fewer shelves) and less stuff. So I only buy a new record if I really want it and talk myself out of everything else. And yeah records are currently very inflated. But if you just like the thrill of digging through a bargain bin or at thrift stores, and you have the space, and you love the music, go for it!
Anyway, chances are the $40 record will get resold for half the price on Discogs or in a record store in a year.

Genuinely feels like you’re drinking the water of life whilst riding a sand worm.

I love it. Not a home until you’ve slept on the couch. Try it. It’s like having a sleepover with cosy town
