As a multi-instrumentalist who has had several bands fall apart due to attitudes, alcohol and general lack of respect for practice/shows while trying to cat-herd a bunch of egos…
Call me “Lucky”
I discovered electronic music machines (mainly Elektrons) and have had much more time to make/play music than ever before… all by myself!!

Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept people like me as a member.

old guys with expendable cash

Perhaps “the group” itself isn’t taken!
From now on we are the group.
Sounds very Cyberpunk! I like it
All these tales of our being old fools with too much money …
You could instead buy a decent set of golf clubs, bag, caddy trolley, lifetime supply of balls and a club membership for 20 years including entrance fees for a mere £60k or so
Yet we waste our money on music gear … we’re cursed by having more imagination than the average pleb who can’t think of a better idea of what to do with their time
GAS bags.
Gastronomie! I think you’re onto something
Big ol Poo Poo Brains.
A lot of people spend a lot of money on nice cars, nice homes, trendy clothing, ect. Some blow their money on anything & everything… or blow their money on drugs…
I like to spend my money on things that bring me happiness. Yea, I NEED a car & a home, but a really nice car & a really nice home won’t bring me a lot of happiness. Playing on my hardware all night brings me loads of happiness!! & fun!!!
Not old and not rich 
Very well said @Sharris !
All my co workers spend their money on expensive Nikes and Adidas shoes, Supreme backpacks, and high end vehicles. I’ve been rocking the $40 Kohl’s cheapo Nike SBs and still driving a 2000 model vehicle. I won’t knock anybody for what they spend their money on, but some of these things seems so overpriced. They would probably say the same if at told them how much I spend on my Machinedrum UW MK 2. Hah
I think if some people started adding up the amounts they spend on beer, wine, liquor, a nice night out, a “treat yo’ self” shopping spree or meal, a Moog Voyager might seem reasonable. 
GAStronomers!
GAStronauts. … as the late Keith Floyd might have put it.
Just to dispell some oldfashioned stereotypes…
Those bags are full of volcas!
