Um...ahem ...why not...um... get an EASY, part time job and...er...earn
extra money for a new rig, fresh coax cable, and a few more bucks to buy
better bourbon to sip while relaxing after that next big contest?
I know a guy who worked at a big box store to pay for health insurance
and other goodies, and really respect him for it. I occasionally assume
an odd professional assignment to finance new gear.
You might also sell stuff you do not really need around the house,
instead of leaving it to your heirs to sort out after you are reassigned
to a station in the clouds? You would be surprised how much green you
can recover. I sold enough junk last year to finance a new guitar. My
wife fully supports any purchase I make with new money outside the
investment pool. A new transceiver may be within reach after all - plus
you will have that heady sense of self satisfaction the comes from a job
well done without dipping into your financial reserves.
Work only as much as necessary - I am certainly NOT advocating against
retirement! Besides, you may enjoy getting out of the house and mixing
with people, and the extra cash should be fun to spend.
That is just MY take, anyway ... your mileage may vary.
