Future of the hobby

I'll add a little perspective to this. I'm 30 and gave always loved old muscle cars. Most of my friends around my age love my old mopar too. I know there may seem to be a disconnect with the younger generation and classics but there really is a big financial investment with there cars, or old cars in general. Most of the people my age go to school, then college, then start families and disposable income can be hard to come by.

I was fortunate to purchase a house way under value 5 years ago, make good money and not have much debt. I also had a garage to work on my cars

A lot of younger kids have daycare, mortgage/rent, student loans etc. I was paying 1200 a month for daycare for 2 kids, on top of my mortgage and other bills. When we had our 3rd kid our daycare was going to increase to 2k per month. When I graduate dental school my student loan payment will be about 5300 a month that's 60k a year just for student loans.

I think most people start having more disposable income when they get into their 40s and 50a. So my generation still has 10-20yrs until the age of disposable income.
