Less disposable income is a fantastic tool in a more discerning purchasing policy :). In the days before the internet my musical sphere was pretty limited and restricted to purchasing from the extremely limited stock of B&M stores. I was so desperate for "new" music that I bought around 35 Hawkwind albums - that'd be 33 more than I really should have! Hence, I did get a lot of music that wouldn't necessarily be described as "awful" as such, but mediocre might be more accurate a term. Now every single album purchase is researched and tested beforehand and I'm even selling stuff on Amazon marketplace - something I thought I'd never do.
