I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

    I’m at a point in life where money isn’t the issue. The bottlenecks are always time and energy. Someday I’ll have time to focus on music (and skiing, and backpacking, and drawing, and …).

      I’m a software engineer and picked up the ukulele because on of my kid was gifted one. When I feel tired or burnt I sit down and play a few songs and it actually gives me energy. I did play a bit of guitar in school so that helped me get going I guess.

      I now have three ukuleles and a mini bass.

      I’d save some money and do that now. You never know when you’re going to get a disease or cancer , or just get old.

      At least thats how I look at it. Cancer is a 50% chance, so may as well plan on that taming me out!
