Have you ever realised just how much you spend on music? According to Prudential research in the UK, a lifetime of music will set the average person back $37,000 (about €30,6100 or UK £21,000). And that\'s the average cost - drummers and percussionsists will probably spend even more!\"Most people would describe themselves as a music fan of some sort or another, but what is really amazing is just how much money people find themselves spending on it. I wonder if people take this into account when they plan their finances. My suspicion is that they don’t because it is not seen as one of the big set-costs like a mortgage or bills or food. However, we can see that people spend a significant amount of money on it.\"
Fortunately, if you\'re a good musician, don\'t mind hard working and have a bit of luck, music can improve your income as well. Ask Phil Collins, Charlie Watts or Nicko McBrain.
