Its also a bit of a snobbery thing. I mean, people just don't downsize in his family.
The music stuff:
I knew what I was getting into sort of when I married him. His degree is in recording engineering and music was his first love before he found glass. Now that he's retired from the glass all he thinks about is more instruments, more equipment. I think 2 guitars and 5-6 flutes would be enough but he'd collect a roomful of guitars and already has over 30 flutes.
Could it be that he got a rush from buying his very first guitar and he hopes to get a rush just like that first one each time he buys a new one? Just wondering. It is an interesting phenomenon.

I know whenever I have to buy anything except food (okay, sometimes certain foods) I get an anxiety attack. haha! But I know I am an oddball and I have my issues.

How do you cope with your simple life and his complicated life being so intertwined?
