A year ago I could have truthfully answered probably around 80%. This year it might be as low as 20% or even 15. Conversely I have a savings account going for the first time in quite awhile. Strange how that works.

    Sometimes if a record in my collection goes way up in value I will sell it/trade it.

    You know what sucks, though, savings accounts. Getting like less than 1 percent for letting the bank hold your money. Sure, it's always a wise move to save your money but the banking industry is punishing us en masse for not saving enough and now starting to save.

    For me, I would say, probably less than 5 percent going to records or other formats of music.

    Aside from under your mattress or in an old tin can, where can you store your money where the banking industry won't benefit from it? Is this a credit-union related discussion? Serious question; the mechanics of finance has never been my strong suit. Maybe I'll just reinvest in vinyl futures after all.
